My Week With Marilyn just hit theaters, but producers of the Michelle Williams vehicle are already thinking about their next move for the late blond bombshell: They want to take it to Broadway, with Katy Perry as the lead! Producer Harvey Weinstein tells E! he wants to develop a Broadway musical based on the movie, which stars Michelle Williams as Monroe (see trailer below). My Week With Marilyn Trailer “If the movie works, I would try to make a musical and go to [ Katy Perry ] first. I think she can play Marilyn on the Broadway stage… I think she would be amazing.” Why? For one, Perry has become a cheerleader of sorts for the flick. A remix of her hit “The One That Got Away” is being used in a new trailer for My Week With Marilyn . She’s also got one heck of a musical following. “Katy posted about it on Twitter and Facebook and the next thing you know 250,000 people have downloaded the trailer in an hour,” Weinstein said. Perry also did a recreation of Monroe for a video for “Teenage Dream” that was used for a 90-second commercial for German TV show Star Force . What do you think? Could she pull it off?!
