I believe Sierra did a reading/workshop of the musical last year with her then-fiance.
I'd prefer to see her continue on with Ever After, but I suppose anything is better than seeing her in Phantom again.

Yes. They were scheduled to do Rebecca together a few years ago.
But they also did a workshop of Doctor Zhivago (with Alexandra Silber) last July. (From Silber's blog: http://alexandrasilber.blogspot.com/2013/07/zhivago.html )
I wonder if she will continue with this or with Ever After. Or surprise us with something completely different.

Posted: 10/3/14 at 10:44amSo perhaps this is why Sierra left Phantom....Hmmmm...She and her fiancé doing Zhivago together on Broadway? Must be a dream come true for an actor couple.

Posted: 10/9/14 at 6:01pmThe leads are cast according to the breakdown. I wonder who it is?

Posted: 10/9/14 at 8:20pmSo Sierra Boggess and Tam Mutu broke up? I guess the whole living in different countries thing didn't work out...

Posted: 10/10/14 at 11:43amRebecca is not a disaster, Distinctive B. Or a disaster waiting to happen. It just hasn't happened.
Why don't you go? Why don't you leave Manderley? He doesn't need you... he's got his memories. He doesn't love you, he wants to be alone again with her. You've nothing to stay for. You've nothing to live for really, have you?

Posted: 10/10/14 at 12:07pmThe Rebecca disaster already happened. There's no other word to describe the mess that caused the show to be called off.

Posted: 10/10/14 at 12:12pmAfter attempting to watch From Here to Eternity, Rebecca and Dr. Zhivago would be a welcome relief.

I am surprised Wildhorn (who I like) did not do it before this.
This will be greeted with the same disdain and derision generally reserved for Frank's work by the "esteemed" critics.

Posted: 10/10/14 at 2:59pmI was wondering how you were going to shoehorn Wildhorn into the conversation.

Posted: 10/10/14 at 3:31pmWildhorn would never have touched it. It's not public domain.

Posted: 10/10/14 at 6:03pmI do hope the critics don't go in to this one with their minds already made up as they seem to do for Wildhorn shows. Lucy Simon did give us The Secret Garden. I'm not writing this off just yet.

"The first block of tickets for DOCTOR ZHIVAGO go on sale Monday, November 10, 2014, and will be available for performances from Friday, March 27, 2015, through March 6, 2016."
Uh.... what happened to tickets going on sale today??? Pretty disorganized operation they have going on.

FYI: I read everything you post as though it is being said by John O'Hurley on Seinfeld.

Heard that Zhivago is coming from the West End. Not sure who it is.
This musical has a ton of earworm songs -- bastards stick in your head worse than an Andrew Lloyd Weber ballad in D flat. Currently can't get the song NOW from the show out of my head.

Posted: 11/19/14 at 2:37amone of the worst ideas ever - this musical
#46'DOCTOR ZHIVAGO' to Open on April 21st!
Posted: 11/19/14 at 10:23amI don't see how this idea is worse than any other classic novel adapted for a musical.

Posted: 11/19/14 at 10:59amI would love for Sierra Boggess to be in this! She truly is a great actress.
#48'DOCTOR ZHIVAGO' to Open on April 21st!
Posted: 11/19/14 at 11:03am^Unfortunately, she's already cast in It Shoulda Been You for the spring (here's hoping she'll finally get a Tony nomination this season).

Posted: 11/19/14 at 11:08amI really dont get the 'Sierra is a great actress' viewpoint, she does the doe eyed silent movie style acting in everything ive seen her in, but thats about it. One of the weakest Christines and Fantines ive ever seen. And LND I found her really wooden. Ariel was good, but then the role called for doe eyed. She'd actually put me off seeing something now
