Vividly.

And yes, I know you're kidding...but that doesn't stop me from knowing exactly how "stunning" it would be.

About as ridiculous as seeing something like, oh, I don't know, Mrs. Lovett playing the tuba!

...oh wait....

Is there any major upcoming show that he or Michael Mayer is NOT directing?


It's just a message board. Let's not take it too seriously.

Hmmm..."The Shadow Waltz" danced atop a huge harmonium?

Is it coming to Broadway?

Didnt 42ND STREET just close back in 2003 or something?

I could just see "We're in the money" being sung in a minor key by a chorus of basses...


"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

Sarcasm, Clumsy.


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Didn't fully understand. :)

During "Plenty of Money and You" Peggy will actually tap dance on the keys of the piano instead of ontop of it.

How about giant piano keys, à la BIG?


Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

No StageManager.... Doyle is a minimalist.... the set will be a piano, maybe a staircase, and everyone will be in black sequin dresses and sailor suits and tuxedos.

Regardless of who is cast, Christine Ebersole needs to come marching down the stage in her Little Edie costume from "Revolutionary Costume..." while playing a big brass drum.

Only if they're black and white M&Ms...perhaps with some blood on them.


Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.
