Kiss of the Spider Woman deserves a revival too!!!

What do you guys think? I think Vanessa Williams should reprise the role, this time being the originator of the Revival.

sure but lets wait more then 12 years from original, so that it is fresh, and not in the shadow of the original, like so many recent revivals.

LOL

Let's give it 8-10 years.

Love the Zeta-Jones selection. I could definately see her in that role.

I think it is a little too early for a revival...but I say make it a movie! Kander and Ebb have been the most successful when it comes to adapting their work to the screen. They are two for two. Lets see if they can make it three for three!

This can wait.


How about some South Pacific?

If you're near Chicago, I'm in an upcoming production (as the Warden). It's going to be awesome--the guy playing Molina is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

Rehearsals are going great. We open in a month, but it feels like a year! I can't wait.

I hate the Warden!!! Good luck, Baritone. I think it is time to revive it though, I mean, maybe they should wait about 5 years but not 10. I also agree with the Catherine Zeta-Jones selection but I still believe Murphy is completely right to play this role. Jane Krakowski would probably be a good choice as well. Is Anthony Rapp too young to play Molina? Alan Cumming would make a great Molina too. I just wish they revived this show with a new concept like they have done with the other two great Kander&Ebb revivals. Is Spider Woman considered a book musical, a concept musical, or a mixture of both?
The idea of a movie of this show would be great just because it'd be easier to include a lot of cinematic elements that would add to the story. It'd take a great director to make it appealing to audiences not familiar with musical theater just because although Chicago is my favorite show, I believe Spider Woman's is Kander & Ebb's most complex score.

LOL, really? I meant a movie musical, I know there's a movie based on the play or the novel I can't remember. It stars Sonia Braga the great Brazilian actress that played Samantha's lesbian lover in Sex & the City. What are your thoughts on a movie musical muscle?

revivals should have a 25 year wait period. it is far to soon to do kiss again.

There were rumours, for a while, of a made-for-TV film version (Showtime, I believe) that would star J.Lo and Mark Anthony. No idea if that's going anywhere, but I'm still scared.

And just tossing weird casting ideas out there... can anyone else sorta-kinda picture Hugh Laurie as Molina? He can do comedy, he can do VERY intense drama, and he can at least carry a tune. If there is a made-for-TV version, I think he could do quite well.
