Posted: 9/6/12 at 12:28pmTrue, but by using the songs from the movie, the creative team should probably expect some comparisons. It's not like Sister Act where it was a whole new score.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Oh...I'm sure they are. But I'm expecting Headley, the commanding, serious actress with powerful pipes, to put to rest any of those concerns.
No one is Whitney Houston. Christ, Whitney Houston was only Whitney Houston for about a decade. So f*ck it. Tailor the score to the performer who best embodies the role. I argue that there is no better choice than Headley.

Posted: 9/6/12 at 9:20pmHeadley seems very talented. My problem is that I thought the original movie was dreck, so a musical of it doesn't appeal to me at all.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
