Posted: 6/12/07 at 6:23pmAbout 10 years ago there was serious talk of creating a "Last of the Mohicans" musical in Toronto and then bringing it to Broadway. Every now and then I still hear that the idea is being considered.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 8:35pmLooks like "The Master and Margarita" will never reach fruition, or at least not till Phantom 2 is finished : /

Whatever happened to Hal Prince's life of Sammy Davis Jr. musical.
Always thought that was odd.

I would someday like to see Disney's Hunchback stage version on Broadway.

I remember, ages ago, reading in New York Magazine, that Billy Cristal wanted to come to Broadway in a new musical with book by Neil Simon and songs by Stephen Sondheim.
I wondered if it would be called "Barefoot in the Park with George"
And, there was talk about a "Captain America" musical. All I remember is that Lara Teeter from the "On Your Toes" revival was going to choreograph and that John Cullum was going to star. It was going to be about his mid-life crisis and his girlfriend was the President, who was being held hostage by terrorists. All that ever came from it was some publicity shots of John Cullum wearing a "Captain America" outfit.

Sexual Harrassment - The Musical!
Based on the story of an HBO writing intern who sued the company for sexual harrassment because of the dirty comments thrown about by some show's -- I think Sex and the City -- writers during pitch sessions.

Posted: 6/13/07 at 4:41pmA musical version of the Napoleon and Josephine story was discussed for years. It was to star Anthony Newley and Barbra Streisand. Obviously, it never happened.
