Good thing, too. The idea of a tired Guys and Dolls revival being the Nederlander's first tenant after Rent turns my stomach.

In retrospect, I wonder if the writer meant Godspell, and not Guys & Dolls?

I predict Musical Mash-Ups will be the next trend, after Juke Box Musicals.

Coming soon: Gods & Dollspell!

The online article in the link does not mention Guys & Dolls. If it was removed, that would imply that it was wrong and the writer did, in fact, mean Godspell.

Does anyone have a copy of the original article (scan, screen grab, whatever) with the G&D reference? I'm curious to see what it said.
