paris-is-burning-broadway.jpegWe hear that Precious director, Lee Daniels, fresh off his Oscar excitement, is already off and running towards his next project: Turning Paris Is Burning into a play. Why didn't someone think of this sooner? Jennie Livingston's 1990 documentary about a community of drag queens vogueing their way through New York would be perfect on the Broadway stage! Who would play the late-great Octavia Saint Laurent we wonder? Too bad Denzel Washington's already busy on Broadway in the revival of Fences. We kid. Although that could be kind of funny.
