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....

Posted: 6/25/07 at 5:45pmIs 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.

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

Posted: 6/25/07 at 6:18pmI 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

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.

Posted: 6/25/07 at 6:45pmDuring "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?

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Posted: 6/25/07 at 6:55pmNo 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.

Posted: 6/25/07 at 8:20pmRegardless 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.

Posted: 6/25/07 at 10:13pmOnly if they're black and white M&Ms...perhaps with some blood on them.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.
