ALW's Song and Dance

Tell Me on a Sunday has had revisions since the Broadway run (London for sure). The two-act version is a product of its time, who knows how it would play today.

You'd need a mega star to sustain a revival, but it is IMHO opinion the hardest female role in musical theater (yes Wicked lovers, this one is harder). No clue who could do it well AND sell tickets.

I'm not too familiar with the show aside from a song or two, but would Julianne Hough be suitable for this?

Annaleigh Ashford did it in college and she’s my dreamcast for an Encores run.

The principal doesn’t dance. Act 1 is the musical play (Song) and Act 2 is the Dance section done by dancers. "

Not much, but Emma certainly did dance in the Broadway version, in the section when Emma and Joe's stories intersect.

I'd buy a ticket to that.

The rights are not available for SONG AND DANCE. Currently, and most notably and unfortunatrely, the only version of TELL ME ON A SUNDAY available to license is the original.

It's a shame, too, as Maltby's revision for SONG/Bway is superior and I think it could work well today. (Hence why I've inquired about rights.)

Concord Theatricals, and its respective Song and Sunday pages, would beg to differ with you. (Unless you mean the Maltby version specifically, which R&H used to license and is now no longer available, period.)
