Posted: 6/20/11 at 4:48pmHal, you know I worship you, but this is an attempt to make money, isn't it?

Posted: 6/20/11 at 4:55pmOh, lay off! Hal is an old man who was approached with this idea by some talented people who wanted to honor him. Stro and Jason Robert Brown aren't doing a Off-Broadway revue for the money.

So it's another "Jerome Robbins' Broadway" or "Fosse."
I wonder what other titles were considered besides "The Prince of Broadway" (oy) ...
Deck the Hal

Just Prince!

Posted: 6/20/11 at 4:57pmExcuse me Broadwaybabytn, but I did not say, "Hal is a old coot looking to make money and I hope this show is a miserable failure." In fact, I'm looking forward to it more than a lot of upcoming shows. But it is surprising to hear that he's doing a retrospective, and I'm only assuming it's for some money.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 4:58pmWell, Purple Rain was already taken.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 4:59pmMaybe "One Hal-uva Guy!" was a rejected title too (You know, instead of "One helluva Guy?).

Posted: 6/20/11 at 5:04pmI suppose "Here, Prince!" sounds too much like calling a dog.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 5:07pmjv, thank you for your dignified answer. I'm sorry I misinterpreted your first remarks.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 5:08pmYou know, it's sad-- a lot of people are going to come in thinking this is a Prince revue ("Purple Rain" and all), and they're going to hear "Seven and a half Cents" and "The Road You Didn't Take."

Posted: 6/20/11 at 5:10pmAnd 'Follies' WILL be well represented, judging from the giant poster hanging in his office, and the inscription he wrote in my first edition book a few years ago, It's his favorite show of his. So nobody worry!

Posted: 6/20/11 at 5:32pmSo much of what makes Hal's shows effective are massive coups de theatre--I kinda wonder how this would work...

Posted: 6/20/11 at 7:57pmWhy does it take two of them to direct? Surely one or other is capable of doing the job alone...is there some creative reason, or is Hal just more of a consultant? Looking foward to it, though!

Posted: 6/20/11 at 9:05pmHal's getting a bit up there. I imagine she's doing the heavy lifting. That and they probably enjoy working together.

Posted: 6/21/11 at 12:00am"Prince Faith," that's what I would call it.

Posted: 6/21/11 at 12:07amI would also guess that the co-billing stems from a good deal of Prince's original staging being used and adapted by Stroman, in addition to any original work she might do.

Posted: 6/21/11 at 12:20amThey could go with a more obscure title. Like "Wednesday".

I, for one, look forward to this revue. Hal Prince's track record is so impressive and Susan Stroman is such a fine talent that the show ought to be a success, although to reach the heights of the magnificent JEROME ROBBINS' BROADWAY should not be anticipated. I saw JRB 4 times and was blown away by it each time. I wonder if they will utilize a continuity narrator like the role Jason Alexander had for JRB.
However, FOSSE disappointed me-- there was too much sameness to it and the production team should either have utilized a narrator, or had the name of the number and what show it was from on electronic placards at each side of the stage, ala GYPSY.

Posted: 6/21/11 at 9:42amPrince & Stroman? I would title it "The Prince and the Showgirl".

^ That would require her to get billing and assume co-credit for her work in this revue. Haahahahahahaha! Yeah, right.
But I absolutely LOVE that title, madbrian.
