Posted: 2/28/11 at 4:00amMad Max:Beyond Thunderdome is pure genius. How can anyone better that? Unless it's something like Pasolini's "Salo".

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

There are any number of people who could make Hercules work- it is crying out for large carnival style puppets, operated Chinese-dragon style by multiple puppeteers.
Right now, you'd probably be better off opting for the Warhorse team.
The last thing Hercules needs, though, is a pretensious approach.

She needs to be given real constraints. How about either an off Broadway show or something that goes into the Helen Hayes or the Golden theatres. 1-4 person cast at most. No one can leave the ground. Only one set. Not a musical. Max out her available budget at $1 million.
If it weren't already running, I'd say Love Loss and What I Wore would be a good show for her. No costumes, no set, although she could get the most expensive poster paper ever for the drawings of the dresses.

Posted: 2/28/11 at 8:44pmShe's probably the only person who could ever secure a sufficient budget for a good revival of Follies...
