Last March it had a staged reading. The backing for the film fell through, so I guess they opted to do it for the stage.

"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."

Is it going to be done as a Northwestern production with their students or more of a professional setting?

It's not a movie. It's a stage show.

It was supposed to be a movie, but according to the article it was reworked for the stage. I kind of wish they still had the backing to do the movie. It was originally slated with not only chenoweth, but parker posey as well. I think the team of them together would've been very entertaining.
