It sounds like we’ll be singing it up this fall as in addition to the conclusion of ‘Wicked’ comes the revamped ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ starring, wait… Jennifer Lopez? I’m not yet mad about it, but I’m not overtly thrilled. With studio sparkle, Lopez can sometimes sing. The trailer doesn’t quite give me enough faith that she can pull it off, but Chita Rivera and Vanessa Williams both made indelible impressions without having powerhouse vocals, so I’m giving JLo the benefit of the doubt for now. This looks like it has promise, and I have wanted to see a thrilling version of this musical for years. Maybe it’s time, maybe this fall…
