So maybe it wasn't the riskiest property. And yes, any country star is just gonna be BANKABLE for TV audiences. Carrie may not be an actress, but she's an endearing personality, and pretty darn telegenic for a singer.

It would be FUN to see other pop stars return to their musical theatre roots. Janelle Monae, Jason Mraz, Katy Perry = musical theater people. As much as we all love the TV audiences that the "Glee" cast, Kristin, Audra, etc, have earned, they just don't get press the way a star like Carrie Underwood does.

If I were at NBC, i'd probably look at a list of the top 10 musicals that are being produced at American high schools, and pick one of those. God knows GUYS AND DOLLS is about as foolproof as they come.
