Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a three-hour ABC television event that got mercifully edited down. The original cut had even more original songs.
Nicole Scherzinger fought hard for Penny's expanded role and actually performed live vocals, unlike much of the cast. She basically carried the production on her back.
