We told you that Ugly Betty was packing it up and heading off to NYC. Now it looks like they might try to branch out into some kind of all-singing, all-dancing Broadway musical when they get there. According to cast member Michael Urie -- who plays assistant Marc St. James on the show -- a project that started with the idea to turn one episode into a musical is now being spun off into an actual stage production. Here's what he told Britain's Heart FM:

"They do want to do an "Ugly Betty" musical, a full-on Broadway musical, but it's all hush-hush. I think it would be great, and they should use the cast from the show. I think we would all do it, although we maybe don't dance and sing as well as professional singers and dancers. I think it would be fun for us to do it for a while, and then they could get real people in. They definitely want to do an episode that is a musical one, but then they want to do a full stage show. I think it's a great idea. It would definitely work."
