OK, so, I'm sure this thread has been done before, but I don't feel like searching through the archives and wasting my night.

Looks to me like John Doyle is going to make himself a place in musical theatre, love him or hate him. What shows do you think his style would work with and which shows do you think it would hurt?

I think "Company" sounds great. I had mixed feelings about "Sweeney."

Discuss, please!

Using the search feature doesn't force you to search through the archives. It's very quick and painless.

I don't know much about his style. I know one concept of his. I would like to see more from him without the actor-musician concept.

Regardless, the point my comment was that I don't care if someone has already asked my same question, I'm asking it again.

Seems to me that John Doyle plans to keep toying with the actor-musician concept. I was just curious what other people though.

I know the assistant director for Amadeus. And judging by what he says, John Doyle does not want to get type cast as the director who only does thism but rather wants to branch out.
