Katy Perry to Play Marilyn Monroe on Broadway?


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).

"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?!
