LYSISTRATA JONES Is Heading To Broadway... — Page 2

While it's never going to be a "big" show, people forget that this production is incredibly stripped down compared to the previous one in Dallas (back when the show was called GIVE IT UP!)

For the Broadway transfer, expect a lot of the bigger production values that were present before. Scenic pieces like this one, which could never be used in the environment of a space like the Gym at Judson, will almost surely come back into play. The whole idea of the show being atmospheric was not part of the original concept, so they'll be plenty more to fill a Broadway stage than what you're seeing in the Off-Broadway incarnation.

I agree the Kerr seems a bad fit. It's a jewlbox of a space, and not right for something as plucky as this.

There is, no doubt, a great little musical possible with LYSISTRATA.

This aint it.

I wish someone would talk Ralf Konig into dramatizing his utterly whacked out version of the play. Infinitely funnier.

if this lasts past the new year I will be amazed
