David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
-Into the Fire

I'm crossing my fingers for this one. I hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as Guys and Dolls, having to follow such a successful revival from the 90s. At the same time I'm sure Daniel's name alone will sell tickets. I can't even imagine what the artwork will look like. The original and revival logo by Doug Johnson are both so iconic.

Like it did for EQUUS?
Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited about this revival and can't wait to see it. I just don't have as much faith in the selling power of Daniel's name as you do.

True Yero, but also consider that the subject matter/nudity of Equus almost certainly was a factor in that. While a lot of people probably went just to see Harry Potter's schlong, I'd wager there's a bigger group of that fan base who didn't go for that reason (or their parents wouldn't let them).
Also, this is the perfect timing to capitalize on his celebrity, as it's between the release of Deathly Hallows part 1 and part 2, presumably when Potter fever will be at full pitch, since those movies have the potential to be some of the biggest movies of all time, at least in terms of box office.
Do you think they'll have rush? How early should I get there?
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Wow! This is fantastic news! I was just thinking the other night how similar HOW TO SUCCEED and PROMISES are. The lead character is a young nebbishy everyman type trying to go up the corporate ladder in very unconventional ways....falling for the pretty office girl along the way....office shenanigans abound. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

This show won the Pulitzer? For some reason I really can't stand this show. Maybe it's just because I haven't seen a good production but I just can't stand it.
I was JUST mentioning this rumor to someone YESTERDAY! We were BOTH hoping it was true! YIPPEE!!!
Spring is looking interesting for 2011!!!!
