Posted: 2/11/06 at 6:46pmI've heard part of the demo...I adore it.
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Who thought this would be a good idea for a musical? I adore Nick Hornby's book and the John Cusack movie, but the story is so episodic. Also, so much of the humor comes from the rapid-fire dialogue and long monologues about pop culture. I just don't understand how they could put this one into musical form.
Then again, few of us probably thought Dirty Rotten Scoundrels would make an interesting musical. I just don't want this to be a Sunset Boulevard where a crappy musical taints the image of a beloved film.

Posted: 2/13/06 at 9:52amThey've workshopped it a couple of times recently and from what I've heard it seems to be in great shape. Actors attached to it seem to be extremely enthusiastic about it and I believe the biggest hold up right now is theatre availabity. If a theatre frees up that is approriate for the show, it might possibly come in as soon as this summer

Posted: 2/13/06 at 10:30amPlease dear god don't let them destroy this. Possibly my favorite book and movie of all time, and the words The Musical make me want to puke.

Posted: 2/13/06 at 10:37amFrom what I've heard on the demo it is quite good, Norbert Leo Butz, Sherie Rene Scott, and Julia Murney do a great job with it.

I do love the movie...but John Cusack will be forever in my mind in the lead role...
Think they can get Catherine to reprise her role???
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

Posted: 2/13/06 at 4:44pmI think Will Chase was involved in this in the past. I would love to see him in a new show. He's so talented.
