I just read about this in the Liz Callaway e-mailed newsletter. I know there was an earlier thread about this show in September, but I don't think any cast had been announced at that point. I wish I could get to Atlanta to see her! I wonder what the odds really are of it moving on to Broadway, or perhaps touring?
Here's what the e-mail said:
"The big news is that Liz has been cast in the upcoming world premiere of iSondheim: A Musical Revue at the ALLIANCE THEATRE in Atlanta, GA from April 15 – May 10, 2009. James Lapine will direct this new show, and there are hopes that this may just be the initial stop on the way to New York."
I'll put a link to the Alliance Theatre Web site, but they really don't give any information about the content of the show, or mention any of the cast.

Posted: 2/2/09 at 6:32pmI agree, the logo looks horrible. I hope it's better than the webpage lets on.

(suddenly, a commercial comes on:)
COMMERCIAL: (to a funk beat) "In a world... where no one would listen... there is now... there is only...
iSondheim! (wailing guitar) The Best F//in' Show in Town!"
SOME KID IN HIS DORM ROOM: AH YEAH! CHANGE OF PLANS! WE'RE GOIN' THAT WAY!!!

Yeah, it looks like a textbook from college.
I don't understand why we need this show. How many Sondheim revues do we need? How about some of the more obscure composers.

Do we really need another one? But still, maybe Lapine has something up his sleeve...
Edit: I was typing really fast...
