Stars Hollow: The Musical Continues Filming
It was recently revealed that the Summer episode (Episode 3) of Gilmore Girls: Seasons, the Gilmore Girls revival for Netflix, would include Stars Hollow: The Musical, a musical rendition celebrating the history of Stars Hollow. 3 “stars” of the show are all Broadway stars themselves (though not in the show), with highly-anticipated guest star Sutton Foster as a struggling actress who gets her big break in this, Stars Hollow: The Musical. Sutton Foster is joined by Christian Borle, her ex-husband, and Kerry Butler, both of whom are well known on Broadway.
In some photos this week, well-known choreographer Marguerite Derricks takes us behind-the-scenes of rehearsals for Stars Hollow: The Musical, which appears to involve quite a large cast of dancers! She also shared the above photo of Sutton Foster and Christian Borle.
There has been some supposition that Sutton Foster would be playing the character of Lorelai Gilmore. And, given the outfit, that’s totally plausible. Also plausible is that Christian has the part of Kirk. I mean, look at that sweater vest!
The vest screams Kirk!
The guy seated with the NY cap is Artem Chigvintsev and the girl in front with the strap halter dress and brown heels is Brittany Cherry.
Artem is the winner of Strictly Come Dancing season 8 and currently a pro on Dancing with the Stars.
Brittany Cherry was a contestant on So you think you can Dance season 10 and is a troupe member on Dancing with the Stars .
Thanks!!
The photo with Sutton and Christian is from a month ago–and Sutton wrapped. Tanc has hinted that he’s learning to Tango for Gilmore, and Nick Holmes tweeted about being in a hot room with Tanc and “most beautiful creatures you’ve ever seen” the day these group photos were taken. I don’t think it’s for the musical at all, but rather for something involving the Life and Death Brigade.
Definitely a great theory!
I should add that Tanc has been learning to tango with Marguerite Derricks’s partner.
