Weekend Poll Top Three: Fans are Thrilled for Rupert Grint's Magical Broadway Debut in It's Only a Play

It's here! It's finally here! The fall Broadway season is underway as a herd of new productions light up the Great White Way. And with those shows come stars galore. Many screen actors are tapped to make their heavily anticipated Broadway debuts this fall in various plays and musicals and we wanted to know which star's Broadway debut you were most amped for. Here's what you had to say!

1. Rupert Grint, It's Only a Play—40%
The Harry Potter fave makes his debut this fall in the Terrence McNally comedy as Frank Finger, a wunderkind director. He’s part of a star-studded cast that includes Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Megan Mullally, F. Murray Abraham and Stockard Channing. Not bad company to be in for your first Broadway bow. Hopefully, this will pave the way for more wizards and witches to get their names on a marquee.


2. Emma Stone, Cabaret—36%
If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. The big screen star is tapped to make a “perfectly marvelous” debut as Sally Bowles, taking over from Oscar nominee Michelle Williams beginning November 11. Stone was originally in talks to lead the production, but scheduling conflicts led to her bowing out early. Looks like this time, she’ll win. Hope you like nervous breakdowns and prairie oysters, Emma!


3. Keke Palmer, Cinderella—6%
September 9 will be a “lovely night” for the small screen star and talk show host, as she makes her Great White Way debut in the Rodgers and Hammerstein tuner. She will be joined by two devious stepmothers: Sherri Shepherd, and beginning November 25, NeNe Leakes.
