It is being reported by the BBC that the new Broadway show 'Baby, It's You' is receiving some unwanted attention after it opened last week.

Clearly people whom the musical historically represents are not best pleased that they are being recreated on stage.

All publicity is well....publicity but it doesn't appear to have made it to the message boards and little is gained by mentioning it in the UK!

This was already discussed extensively last week:

Being a Brit we were a little preoccupied last week what with a the Royal happenings and so apologies for resurrecting a post.

It caught my eye on the BBC news site and as it isn't a show we have over here, I thought it would be interesting to garner the US opinion.

For many in the UK it raises some very interesting questions about tribute acts and the rights of using their image and music. The outcome of this will be closely observed.

Thanks for the heads up BrodyFosse123!
