Bee Gee's Musical...ugh!

Does the past equal the future?

Have you seen the show they are considering?

The music of SNF wasn't the problem with the show...

My point is simply that it's probably best to wait until there's something "out there" before casting judgements about the viability of it.

---

Stop what?

Commenting on someone casting dispersion on a show that doesn't exist yet?

Deena is entitled to an opinion as am I, as are you.

The initial comment was in reference to SNF, not jukebox musicals. Which I interpreted as that the BEE GEES shouldn't try another musical on broadway because SNF wasn't a hit

And my point, again, was that it's apples and oranges. You can't write off one show because another failed.

Based on feedback on this message board - look at the reactions to The Producers vs Young Frankenstein. Cry-Baby vs Hairspray.

Every show has a unique set of variables, risks, etc.

the music that the bee gee's have written are some of the best. if they can get a fun story line like they did with ABBA music. (I know it ain't rocket science but hey....)

It could be another cute fun musical.
I just wish they had brought the trashy BONEY M Musical to Broadway -- now that would have been ripped apart by the boar.

And how many of us were rolling our eyes at the thought of "Shrek the Musical"? Then we got wind of the creative team, the actors signing on and interesting thoughts on the advance viewing: that got some of us interested.

Wait and see is great, but I understant the op's thought.

The Bee Gees have a ton of great songs that were not in Saturday Night Fever. I admit that I thought Xanadu would be a humiliating disaster as I had seen the movie in an actual theatre, however I was totally wrong. It turned out to be a fantastic show.

I, for one will be reserving judgement on this show...I wish them all the best.

OH MAN Etoile! Your lips to God's ear!

I like their earlier stuff, and I'll keep an open mind.
It would be cool to see if they can turn "New York Mining Disaster" into a show tune.
But please, not another disco show.

Thanks for the list.
