Did anyone see that "Casper" national tour back several years ago? I was wondering why it never came to Broadway. Was it really bad?

Posted: 6/5/05 at 3:18pmIt did not have a ghost of a chance to begin with. It could never scare up enough customers

Maybe it will happen someday. With this & Over & Over it is like having 2 new Kander & Ebb shows. I would love to hear their first venture the unproduced "Golden Gate"
I would also like a CD collection of their cut songs starting with those in the original version on Kiss . Come to think of it, why not make something akin to a jukebox musical. Fashion a musical out of Kander & Ebb trunk songs

I did see this, with Chita. All I can say is that she had to sing a song titled "MagdalenaMontaverde.com"
and yes, those were lyrics.
'nough said.

Posted: 6/5/05 at 6:04pmI think it would be interesting to see. I assume they haven't released regional rights yet. I could see high schools doing it, hehe.

It was a Pittsburgh CLO production that toured a small number of cities. It was (being as nice as possible) a cute show for children. As a piece of musical theatre, it grotesquely lacked throughout. I may have the program from Starlight Theatre in Kansas City (not a picture program, but the STAR-BILL). If I can find it, I'll PM you for an address to send. It means so much to me, I'll send it off for free
