Looks very interesting. Has Roundabout announced what will be going into Studio 54 this spring?
This makes for 11 new musicals this season - 10 with original scores.

#9Donna Murphy to Return to Broadway in THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE
Posted: 10/31/10 at 8:32pmWow, this is so incredibly excited! I cannot wait to see Murphy in a new musical, the first time she'll be singing a brand new score on Broadway since her Tony-winning turn in PASSION! Doesn't get any more exciting than that, hopefully this is better than the hot mess called WOMEN ON THE VERGE.

A lot of musicals are opening cold on Broadway this season. Interesting.
And it's nice to have two big B'way divas back on the boards - Lupone and Murphy.

Ljay, haven't seen it but have heard it, admittedly not best way to judge a show but as a huge fan of the film and the stars involved, I'm quite disappointed with what they came up, the raw material was there for something quite special and it didn't sound to me that's what they ended up with. Mediocre and meh were the first words that came to mind, but perhaps it's all about the live experience...though I can't imagine that score being any better live (Tony award for Laura Benanti though!)
I think this role sounds incredibly interesting for Donna Murphy, the story sounds pretty fascinating. Does anyone have any idea what the word is from the workshop? From what I understand she has been involved for quite some time.

Posted: 11/1/10 at 12:53pmThis is the first I've heard about this. I'd never been a super Donna Murphy fan -- didn't hate her, just didn't understand what all the broohaha was all about (I know, I'm in the minority here, so don't anybody shoot, please) -- but her cancellation record for Wonderful Town was so off-putting for me that I can't get all the excited about seeing her again.
