Parker Posey and Kristin Chenoweth Head for Asphalt Beach

Gay fans of indie film queen Parker Posey will follow her anywhere, from Hal Hartley's quirky dramedies to the larger-than-life Superman Returns.

Now Posey is headed for Asphalt Beach, a new musical about a clash between two boarding-school girls from opposite sides of the tracks.

Starring opposite Posey will be another gay fave, Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked), who recently played a closeted lesbian housewife in the little-seen Running with Scissors.

Directing and co-writing Asphalt is Peter Spears, who caused quite a stir at queer film fests a few years back with his darkly hilarious Ernest and Bertram, which recast a certain ambiguously gay duo from children's TV as the protagonists of The Children's Hour.

He sounds like the perfect director for these actresses, and vice versa.
