West Side Story original production theater switch Nov 26
2013, 01:14:45 PM
But what if Juno hadn't folded in 2 weeks? The Broadway would presumably still be booked with Gypsy. So would it just have been a limited run at the Broadway?

West Side Story original production theater switch Nov 26
2013, 12:21:11 PM
I was looking at the ibdb for the original production of WSS and noticed the production switched from the Winter Garden to the Broadway Theatre from March to May of 1959 and then switched back to the Winter Garden where it continued to run for a little over a month before closing.
Anyone have any insight into the logic behind this?

I mean, it would be two shows at once for Brian Yorkey (If/Then and The Last Ship) but I guess it's possible!

Ah! Thanks. That makes sense. I guess he will stage it and she will direct it for TV.

Am I missing something or have they not announced who is directing? I know Meron and Zadan are producing but it is hard for me to imagine they would be directing as well.

The bilboard background is also new. In La Jolla, it was just a sky...
Edit: In LJ, it also didn't look like a parking lot... at all. So I'd say that is another great change.

Oh, I wasn't saying that the show Yoshimi doesn't have a story -- it absolutely does. I was arguing that Michael Mayer had more of a story to draw from with American Idiot than Des did with Yoshimi. The play American Idiot virtually tells the same story as the 2004 Green Day album, while the musical adaptation of Yoshimi only had a vague notion of a story that is carried out in four songs of an album to pull from. Des was forced to create much of the story as unlike Idiot, Yoshimi Battles the

^Not really though...
The album of American Idiot tells a clear story with characters from beginning to end. The album of Yoshimi implies that there is a love triangle which involves a character named Yoshimi who is battling pink robots, and that is dropped after the fourth song...
