Report: Paula Abdul to Star in In The Heights on Broadway?

RadarOnline is reporting that Paula Abdul will join Corbin Bleu in In The Heights taking over the role of Tony Award winning actress Priscilla Lopez.

Are you kidding me??? Not happening. Everyone is using Paula's name for publicity these days.

From RadarOnline:

“Paula will take over for Priscilla Lopez in one of the leading roles. It’s always been Abdul’s dream to star on Broadway,” an inside source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Paula has been in talks with producers for several weeks and made a special overnight trip to New York on March 17 just to see the successful Broadway show.”

High School Musical producer Kenny Ortega appears to be the one who rallied for Abdul to get some stage time. “Seems as if Ortega wants Paula involved in this project,” the insider tells RadarOnline.com. “Ortega is hot to have her choreograph the film version.”
