The production is in jeopardy, according to the producers if the $1 million isn't raised. Do even really need this on Broadway? I'd like to see the faded musical revived.

Posted: 1/29/13 at 6:53pmWithout a MAJOR star, I just don't see how this ever had any chance of being successful.

Posted: 1/29/13 at 6:53pmWhy do producers keep announcing shows without having all the money in place?

Posted: 1/29/13 at 8:03pmCats - they did have the money. Someone backed out. These things happen fairly regularly just often not so close to the scheduled opening meaning producers have plenty of time to find replacement investors long before any announcement is made to the press.

Posted: 1/29/13 at 8:26pmThis happened with Clybourne Park when Scott Rudin pulled out due to a disagreement with Bruce Norris, luckily Jordan Roth stepped in or it probably wouldn't have gone ahead.

I believe Bette is still on, if you follow her twitter she tweeted recently that she was in rehearsals at the the theatre when Billy Crystal stopped by to say hello. Apparently he's looking for a theatre….

I thought this was gonna be about how the musical version of Breakfast at Tiffany's was the answer to some question on Jeopardy!. People have posted such mundane things before, and, in fact, when I clicked on this thread, I was gonna add that it was also the answer to a question on last week's Bunheads, when they had trivia night at the bar.

Can someone help me understand the semantics here?
If I adapt an existing work (beloved or otherwise) into a play, am I the 'playwright'? Or is there a more precisely descriptive phrase?
It feels odd to me to call someone the 'playwright' for 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'.
You think, what do you want?
You think, make a decision...

I love the novella and the film (which follows the novella more than most people acknowledge - admittedly doing a radical polish job on Holly).
I wonder if contemporary actors understand the spirit of the late 40s sufficiently to really bring the novella to life (the main thing everyone seems to be expecting of this version). People (women in particular) were so different then; I find most contemporary actors try to fit a period character into a modern-day mold, since it's what they know so well (witness that TV version of Mildred Pierce, which featured 21st century people in mid-20th century clothes and hair-dos, as if the outer trappings alone signify the era).
