What's the musical that you have the biggest personal connection to?

Thankfully, I had the chance to play Horton in both the St. Louis Premiere, and the St. Louis High School Premiere, pictured below.

Besides the PC thing, I believe the goal was to go closer to the original Barrie play/story/etc, and make the show a bit more realistic as opposed to the pastel/dayglo world of the original production.
I saw the Rigby tour when it was in St. Louis last, plus having Rigby on vhs, and the show honestly took a more serious approach than the Martin version. Now, I love the show, no matter what form. That being said, I find the Rigby version the more realistic of the two, and buy into he

Ways to Find Out About Productions Nationwide?

Checking the licensing the easiest way, but you're not going to find many plays on the ones listed, since most of them are for musicals only. Try Samuel French, or Dramatists Play Service. They hold the rights for the majority of plays not in the public domain.

My vote is for Aladdin, mainly due to the fact it is already being produced around the country (the Muny, Tuacahn). After that, though, it would have to be Hunchback, then Hercules

the warn the duke line makes a lot more sense in the book. the little boy is warning houdini that he should warn archduke franz ferdinand about the shooting that initiates the start of world war I. in the book, houdini is over in europe performing, and he meets the archduke. when he is back in the u.s., he hears of the assassination of the archduke, he recalls hearing edgar say "warn the duke" when he first meets him.

White people are 'ethnic' too

With the Reba-Stokes production of South Pacific, I never took it as Emile not being white. Brian Stokes Mitchell as played almost every race he can.
African-American: Ragtime
Spanish: Kiss of the Spiderwoman and Man of La Mancha
Caucasian: Kiss Me Kate
at the same time, you have Lillias White as Bloody Mary. Now, I may be wrong so don't hold me to this, but Mary is Tonkinese/Polynesian, which can be traced back to Taiwan and other Asian nations.
