Long Discussed Musicals That Never Made It — Page 2

Probably a little to early to say, but wasn't Princesses expected this past season?

There was talk of a jukebox musical about the story of popstar Kylie Minogue several years ago. Guess it was just talk.

The Broadway transfer of Once Around the Sun seems to have disappeared.

Kander and Ebb wanted to do "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?", but they couldn't get the rights to it. So, they decided to do their own Depression-era, dance marathon musical "Steel Pier".

"Time and Again" finally made it Off-Broadway with a much changed story line.

There is, of course, "13 Days to Broadway", Cy Coleman's show about a show out of town, in trouble, based on his show that closed out of town "Home Again, Home Again" and using several songs from the score. Liz Callaway recorded one song from it "You There In The Back Row".

And I remember a musical based on "Captain America", but the Captain is now middle aged and his girlfriend is President of the United States and is being held hostage by terrorists. John Cullum was supposed to star in it and there were some publicity photos of him in the costume.

There was "Grover's Corners" by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, based on "Our Town."
