HBO May Finance Caroline, or Change Transfer

I have not seen this musical and because I will not be able to see it at the Public I am very excited about the prospect of a transfer (link below) to the Eugene O'Neill. New work is ALWAYS welcome by me in the world of musical theatre. I love new work and a good revival, but hate those dreadful composer songbook shows. I think that this is the kind of musical Broadway have. Personally, I love the off-beat, original musicals (Avenue Q is the best thing since sliced bread; go see it if you haven't and if you have, lead people to it). Here's to hoping that the money comes through for this ambitious, original project that I hope to get to see in the near future.
Caroline Broadway Transfer May Be Fueled by HBO Money (Playbill.com)

Hey Herbert,
I'm excited too at the prospect of a new work finding an angel. I'll be seeing Caroline in January.

I'm with you -- ANYTHING please rather than the next Look Of Love or Elvis retrospective!

I wholeheartedly agree with Namo. To be fair, I wasn't as blown away by the show as Namo, but if it comes to Broadway, it won't last a month. It's more than fine, where it is.

Yeah, god forbid HBO should bask in the success of bringing something of substance to the small screen. Now, why don't you just go back to wondering who's going to be voted off this week, MM?

SueleenGay, you misinterpret my post. I'm neither criticizing HBO nor referring to AIA, just taking a wait-and-see perspective on their COC transfer to Broadway. "May" commits to nothing.

Suit yourself.

Oh, I do hope they choose to finance Caroline and not to change transfer, which I'm really not sure what that means.
