The CW Developing a Musical Series

20 Oct 2010

Share on Reddit
The CW is probably inspired by the success of FOX's "Glee" that it has ordered for a development of a musical TV series. The network's target market is clear, teenagers who would enjoy some singing and dancing.

Assigned to be the writers are "Bandslam" writer slash director Todd Graff and the film's producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. The former is not only in charge of writing but also executive producing and possibly directing. The project is being developed under the title "Acting Out" and it is described by Deadline as a mix of "Glee" and "Bad Santa".

Generally, it would explore the relationships of counselors and staff of a "down-on-its-luck summer camp whose new owner is a young curmudgeon in the vein of Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa." Greff is familiar with the situation for he once directed a 2003 film titled "Camp" which is about a burnt-out Broadway songwriter who goes to work at a musical camp for young performers.

No release date and other details have been shared.

    ugh sounds like this is going to a crappy Glee ripoff. Glee is amazing, way to try and ride off the coattails of the show CW! Ugh!

    Isn't Glee "inspired" on the success of High School Musical?

    Have you ever seen Glee? It's nothing like High School Musical excluding the fact, that they sing and dance in both...Personally I scream every time I hear anything about HSM, but I'm a big fan of Glee. Yes, both of them want to appeal mostly to teens, but IMO more mature audience can enjoy Glee, and we can't really say this about those Disney movies...

    please don't shoot yourself in the foot CW. You have enough shows that are doing good. Please don't add a Glee wannabe to your list of shows. Seriously summer camp? This sounds like a bad disney show....

    I'm the minority. I think if any show in the top 20 could make it on the CW, it would be Glee. It's not like the CW is anxious to add a cop procedural to its line up. Sure the premise sounds like 90210 meets Camp Rock, but they could surprise us. It can't be worse than some of the dreck that's on now.
