Posted: 9/7/04 at 7:31pmI don't know how good Little Women is going to be. I mean I love Sutton Foster! I was obsessed about her until I saw Wicked. But the idea of making a musical out of a classic story like that is odd. I heard some of the songs on Littlewomenonbroadway.com I actually like BETTER but the rest are ok. I know they're just singing w/ piano so it would sound better on stage but I don't know. I guess we won't find out until it opens. What do you guys think?

how about too soon to tell
GOD this is just like brooklyn
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 9/7/04 at 8:09pmI don't think it will do bad. It may sell out a couple of shows in the beginning (as a result of being new and people wanting to see Sutton Foster), but most likely in the future, it won't be difficult to get tickets.

Posted: 9/7/04 at 8:15pmI can tell based on the clips on the website and Sutton Foster's involvement, that Little Women will be the show of the year. Good Vibrations and Brooklyn have also peaked my interest. But, this far ahead, I'm picking Little Women as the surprise victor come Tony Time.

Posted: 9/7/04 at 8:27pmIt really depends on the reviews I think. It could go either way. Im routing for it! In a world full of pop/rock musicals (although they are very good, gotta love my wicked :)) we need a good solid old fasioned musical. I love the songs too. All the shows this year sound promising.

It is not odd. Les Miz. and Phantom are based on classic stories. Just look at the success of those shows? And even those books can be boring, like Little Women." Let's just wait and see......

Posted: 9/7/04 at 8:41pmI vote float!!! I really like almost all of the song samples, actually even better than I like the Brooklyn sound samples

I hope she sees a room with a piano player and a bunch of scary middle-aged queens sitting behind a table, talking to each other as she auditions!!"

you're right sfs, I never thought about it like that
I hope it floats b/c I adore Sutton and I think she deserves as a successful career as possible. Not that it's not successful already(TMM and the Tony) GO SUTTON!!

Tickets are already on sale.
And believe me, Sutton will not disappoint.
I think this is going to be very popular... for many reasons.
But, very good. I just can't wait to hear the music with an orchestra.
