What ever happened to this show? Anyone got some background info. I just found Not Afraid on the site to not be named!

It's a really great show that definitely deserves to be mounted.

There were two readings of it in 2004, and Michael has supposedly kept working on it including rewriting the book himself.

Personally, I'd love to see this show produced and the new changes made but so far I haven't really heard of any plans to do so.

Great songs but the story really needs work. The first reading's story seemed very episodic and long and the second reading (which was so completely different) didn't have a lot of focus and there seemed to be an uneven balance of development between the four characters. Just my opinion, of course. I would love to see this do well.

Michael Arden, who wrote the show.

I liked the reading that was done at joe's pub a few years ago.

I know for sure that there has been at least one reading, possibly two, since the ones at Joe's Pub a few years ago, and there's a four track demo that's out now. I've also heard that Michael's been working at getting the show produced lately.
