ABC’s morning flagship show “Good Morning America.” offers a grab bag of segments, from Broadway belters to budget meals, horror flicks to Disney princesses, it’s a two-hour sprint through the pop culture landscape.
First up, the cast of Broadway’s “Tammy Faye” is set to grace the GMA stage with a performance. This Elton John and Jake Shears musical, based on the life of the mascara-loving televangelist Tammy Faye Messner, will likely offer a burst of high-energy theatrics to kick off your morning.
Then, pivoting sharply from gospel-infused show tunes, we have Hugh Grant, promoting his new horror film “Heretic.” Grant’s foray into the genre involves missionaries and a terrifying encounter. I wonder if the typically dapper actor will appear on set with his usual wry charm or adopt a more sinister demeanor to match the film’s tone.
For the more practically minded, “GMA” continues its “$20 Dinner Challenge” series. This segment aims to provide viewers with creative, budget-friendly meal options, all concocted using ingredients from the dollar store. Let’s hope the results are more palatable than the premise suggests.
Finally, on the Disney front, Auli’i Cravalho, the voice of Moana, will be on hand to discuss the upcoming sequel, “Moana 2.” Expect some carefully crafted Disney synergy and just enough information to tantalize without revealing any major plot points.
In addition to these main segments, ABC e-commerce editor Tory Johnson will present her “Deals & Steals,” offering viewers a chance to snag some discounts. Meanwhile, Ginger Zee will report live from the “Dancing with the Stars” ballroom as the show celebrates its 500th episode. All in all, a fairly standard “GMA” Wednesday, aiming to please a little bit of everyone.
Tune in to “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, from 7:00-9:00 a.m. EDT on ABC.
