The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

A really great production and anyone traveling to see it could also catch Here We Are at the National, 23 April — 28 June 2025.

It doesn't take much to confuse me but totally lost on this one.

Easily the best show on my last trip - which also included the remarkable Oedipus and Macbeth. When this inevitably makes it to Broadway, Lithgow is all but guaranteed the Tony.

Nothing could top “Oedipus” for me but “Giant” came damn close. Lithgow is coming for the Olivier and then most probably for the Tony, with this one.

Hope this comes to New York. Any whispers of Oedipus coming over?

I hope so. I can’t imagine a world where he doesn’t bring this to NY.

Oops, I thought I was on the Jon M. Chu thread. Also I made a typo. It was early and I was tired. M’apologies.

Lithgow would be a good Narrator/Thénardier

Hm, true. Thénardier usually requires a classist Cockney accent... can John Lithgow do that? Probably.

Seeing as I'm here... is The Witches antisemitic or not? I remember mentioning this when The Witches musical was first announced, but generally people seemed to disagree with me. Maybe I am misremembering. Does this play deal with The Witches specifically?

I personally don't think The Witches is antisemitic, per se, but many people see within it antisemitic tropes (as well as misogynistic tropes). Dahl's own explicitly antisemitic comments have certainly colored how people view his books.

Probably, yeah. Thanks.
I wonder if that’s what stalled the progress of the NT production, or if it was just a dud.
