Elle Fanning IS Gretl.
Courtney could do "Out of focus and bemused."
...with one hand tied behind her back!
That would be the directed line, but she would actually sing, "Out of cocaine and pissed off."
Something tells me that line would change nightly.
"Out of money and bankrupt."
I'm sorry, but I would be more worried of her not showing up as opposed to the line changing nightly. That's the last thing we need, is a leading lady who can't do 8 shows a week.
And of course all the nuns will be dubbed off-stage by Marni Nixon.
And there will be off-stage singers added in, pit singers, ghost singers, back-of-the-theatre singers... and it will cause quite a controversy because of the extremely complex "nunnography" on stage... the creative team (all of us) felt it was necessary to have them.
I'm just sayin'.
isnt that what innovation is all about?
Damn straight, doodle.
Just add an ice rink and a helicopter and we are SO there.
I think ice is too obvious...howza bout a pool of synchro swimmers like they had on the Brady Variety Hour!
Can Pufnstuf make a very special appearance at their wedding?

Who said anything about Donna Murphy being in this show?
Is there a way to incorporate the "Defying Gravity" mechanism into one of the numbers that the von Trapp family singers are performing? [please note sarcasm]
Of course!
Why climb every mountain... when you can FLY (on a cherry picker) over it?

STOP THE PRESSES: Kristin Chenoweth has just expressed interest.

What does everyone think about having the Mother Abbess as a gigantic puppet? Sort of like Joseph P. Kennedy in "Jackie"
Perhaps the children could come running from the back of the theater like The Lion King?
perhaps they should be played by monkeys with masks of people...not over their faces, but ABOVE their heads!
would that ruin the ball bouncing game?
Regarding, "I'm not your Bitch, BITCH". I'm thinking that would make a good song, too. Possibly a heated duet between Gretl and Maria.
Oh yes, would Guettel add to his grandpa's score?
"The Light In the Gazebo"
"Nazis and Stories"
Absolutely.
Rathy... Honestly! You need to "collaber" more often. It's not an exclusive club of any kind. All freakishly bizarre and misdirected ideas are welcome here.
Visionary!!!
Hey... while we're at it, let's have mama Mary Rodgers adapt some lyrics to "Shy" for the Baroness!
The opening of that vast Nazi archive is going to blow this story out of the water.
