They do work together, but not always:

>Aren't Boyett and Ostar partners? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I could've sworn they work together...<

Quite often, they do work together, but they also work on their own separate projects. OSTAR (Bill Haber) is a producer on August: Osage County, and Boyett is not. Boyett was a producer on Is He Dead? and is on The 39 Steps and Boeing Boeing, and OSTAR is not. They are both on Sunday in the Park with George and were both on The Seafarer and Rock 'n' Roll.

I can't wait for this! BRIGADOON is one of my favs...best score, weirdly engrossing book and (hopefully) great choreography!

If it will be anything like SOUTH PACIFIC--meaning great orchestra as well, heaven is upon us!!

I'm excited. Brigadoon was my first Broadway experience. I saw it when I was about 10----Peter Palmer was the lead. I was hooked!

I'm just a little scared about this "rewritten" book and the new approach.

Hmmm....

daytripper08, you might be new so you'll be forgiven but Gavin Creel is involved with the revival of Godspell this summer. i don't think he'd be available to do an out of town tryout for Brigadoon

I'm glad shows are going out of town to Boston. Clearly the idea that Boston is too close to New York for creative teams to work without word getting back about how things are going is old news thanks to the internet. And there's such great history of shows going to Boston and songs getting "lost in Boston".

I am soo excited that try-outs are back in Boston.

I already invited Without a Trace & Wanna Be a Foster to come and camp out at my living room to see this show here in Boston... 1st weekend of the try-out- you will here from us!

I wonder how they are going to do the title song. It's beautiful, but always makes the show seem so creaky. That "once in the highlands" thing. But I'm sure Ashford has some great ideas. He's crazy talented.

Speaking of Brigadoon- most likely it will paly at the Colonial Theater bec. I just spoke to my friend who works there and he told me that the calendar for October 2008 was block out for a month for a MUSICAL TRYOUT (NYC) -no name though.

I cant wait for the cast announcement!!!
