Posted: 2/3/08 at 12:17pmI actually worked backstage on a good show with the unfortunate title "Heaven and the Homeboy". It was directed and choreographed by George Faison (choreographer of the original Wiz). It was actually quite a good show about angels who come down to help an inner city teen find a good path to live on. Even Oprah and Bill Cosby gave some money to our production, but it never went further than us. Too bad.

Posted: 2/3/08 at 1:59pmPhantom (Maury Yeston version)-- I saw it in summer stock and it's a really nice score. Of course, I know why it never would open in NYC, but it's a shame.

Lone Star Love
The Mambo Kings
With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-
"Not Barker, Todd is the only person I've ever known who could imitate Katherine Hepburn...in print." -nmartin-

Posted: 2/3/08 at 2:20pmRomance in Hard Times. It was announced to go to the Music Box Theatre after a run at the Public Theatre, but it never happened. The show was nuts, but it did feature some very distinctive Bill Finn songs that I'd love to hear again.

I was looking at a musical on Theatrical Rights Worldwide's website called "Nevermore", based on Poe's poems, and it seems very interesting, but never made it past the regional stage.
