Just something I want to see what others think of.
I was thinking about AIDA the other day and how it could be SO much better...even after Toni Braxton leaves.
Delete the numbers "Another Pyramid" and "Like Father, Like Son." The essential plot points in those numbers can be turned to dialogue, but those songs have to go. The choreography is very cheesy and rather pointless, so pointless it ruins the tone of the show.
Think about it, if those two songs were cut, wouldn't the show be ever so much better?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
