Reminds me of the competing Janis Joplin biopics in the mid-1990s. One with Melissa Etheridge and the other with Lily Taylor. In the end, neither film was made.

I recall an interview with PSB at the time of it's release. They had wanted to do a series of these albums with different singers, the list included Ann-Margret and Shirley Bassey. Oh what could've been...

Other possible bio-musicals? Jul 14
2022, 04:14:44 PM
David10086 said: I've always said I would love to see a bio-musical on Mama Cass Elliott. She was a force to be reckoned with in the 60s, until her untimely death at 32 in 1974 from a heart-attack. She got her start at 19, competing with Streisand for the role of 'Miss Marmelstein' on Broadway, and then became a founding member of one of the most popular groups of the 1960s- The Mamas and The Papas (earning her name 'Mama' Cass Elliott' . She then broke out on her own with great success in the early 70s until her death.
Chrissy Metz would be the actress to play her !
I would settle for a Mamas and Papas musical. Their music is very autobiographical.

She is pretty convincing. Although, the leg position gives her away.

I saw the Prince of Whales production with a friend who had never been to a show before. He loved it, I liked it. The original cast was still in the show, minus Ian McShane. Enjoyable, but forgettable. The thing i most remember is Rosemary Ashe singing "Evil." She was hilarious and the vomit spraying from her mouth was a wonderfully gross effect.

The PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE musical that never happened Aug 14
2014, 10:58:03 AM
LOVE this movie. I am surprised this hasn't been done yet. Though I agree that it wouldn't be successful without the Paul Williams score. I like Steinman a lot, but glad this didn't work out.

Showface- I believe the Academy changed the rules on that. The song has to be used in the film as part of a scene.

I agree with those that love the Vanessa Williams recording (and the fact that I cannot upload to Itunes). I really like both, but I saw Vanessa Williams and she was brilliant. I would love to see this show revived.
