Interesting casting choices though.

Does it still take place in the Great Depression of the 1930s? Because, call me crazy, but I find hard to believe that there'd be a black billionaire during then, when the social ladder was already hard enough to climb without the depression killing the economy.

At least Willow Smith isn't starring anymore.

Looking for some stories?

"The Will Smith and Jay Z-produced modernized musical". Okay, one, that answers my question about Jamie Foxx being Warbucks. Second, that explains why Willow was a candidate.

So, who's going to replace FDR in the play? Barack Obama? ...so apparently this play is also The Wiz.

wild mass guessWill Smith will play Obama.wild mass guess

I'm not picturing Jamie Foxx as a teddy bear type.

Don't get me wrong, very likable (cough) guy and wry comic. But c'mon.

Not for nothing, but I don't quite trust Jay-Z's touch on this movie after what he did to The Great Gatsby's soundtrack.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

oy, my dad watched the Great Gatsby and warned me about Jay-Z putting himself all over the soundtrack.

To be fair, Jay-Z already has a good song that samples Hard Knock Life, so... I guess that's a good sign?

I hope the musical is NOT a musical and instead it's like The Wiz and other modern non-musical like musicals.

Hitman, I don't quite understand what you have against musicals, but you need to understand that musicals have their fans...and those fans will likely to be in a thread about a prospective musical.

Sorry. I do have Asperger's and because of this, musicals really irrate me due to any (if not all) musical number from any musical would have a high long note in the end of that musical number. I call that the 'Musical Ender' cliche.
