This will be the next Bart Sher production in the Beaumont. Great idea I think

“Gospel, funk, soul, and Afrobeat come together in The Sound of (Black) Music, a reimagining of the beloved Rogers and Hammerstein score by Michael Mwenso and Jono Gasparro in Alice Tully Hall (Nov 9)”.

I think they’re misinterpreting this headline. It’s actually going to be a reimagining of the sound of music:
“On November 9, the sounds of gospel, funk, soul, and Afrobeat will come together for The Sound of (Black) Music, a reimagining of the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein score by Michael Mwenso and Jono Gasparro.”
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

I do not think so. They probably are going to be holding off on musicals for a while. I had heard Mary Poppins a few years back but it was just a rumor.

How do you read "Gospel, funk, soul, and Afrobeat come together in The Sound of (Black) Music, a reimagining of the beloved Rogers and Hammerstein score by Michael Mwenso and Jono Gasparro in Alice Tully Hall" and come away thinking it's a Bart Sher LCT revival?

I think that would be a colossal waste of all their talents.
Revive something different and interesting.

To highjack this, I saw an earlier iteration of this concert/experience at Bard College in 2021 and it was wonderful.... Michael Mwenso is not to be missed
There are like 3 other people called Voter on here, FYI.

Actually .. I can read- and it’s NOTHING to do with this announcement today.
It is the next musical and I know because a planned London staging of The Sound of Music has been pulled because Lincoln Center are doing it.
Hope that’s cleared up any confusion.

I can't think of another show that I'd want Bartlett FURTHER AWAY FROM

Curious what new perspective Sher plans on bringing to it. More so than even previous Lincoln Center musicals TSOM is a show that's ubiquitous to the point of almost feeling sterile - I saw a community theatre production of it a week or so again and while it was a fine show with really good performances, it was mostly the actors that were bringing the vitality and energy instead of the the direction (although it had some good moments).
I'm assuming he has something in mind, and I'm definitely interested in finding out.

I'd be shocked if this actually happened, but I'd be interested to see a Sher-helmed revival of The Sound of Music... I think he could bring some fresh life to the show which is inherently a bit stale.

As long as he doesn't have Aaron Sorkin revise the book and he doesn't go too far afield. It should be ok. Does anyone see this selling though?

"I agree. Thier main stage (Beaumont) programs in the recent past have not been successful, there seems to be a period of stagnation at least with thier Beaumont offerings. IMHO

Why??? He has already done acclaimed work on two other R&H musicals.
I must admit that I was hoping that Spamalot would get Josh Rhodes some serious recognition, and that he would be given the opportunity to take on SOM on Broadway, because I saw a production that he directed in Sarasota that was absolutely perfect, and I didn’t even want to see it. I have seen three or four things he has done in SRQ, and all have been done so well.

Perhaps it's time for a breath of fresh air at the Beaumont.
