According to Playbill.com The gussied-up new version of the Lerner and Loewe Old West musical, Paint Your Wagon, which has been in the works for several years, will emerge in a staging by Utah's Pioneer Theatre Company this fall.

Paint Your Wagon runs at Pioneer Theatre Company Sept. 28- Oct 13, 2007.

Allen previously said he and his producing partners are talking with actor and country star Larry Gatlin (for the role of grizzled father Ben Rumson) and "American Idol" veteran Diana Degarmo (for Jennifer Rumson).

I did a production of Paint Your Wagon last summer in Utah that did great business. Salt Lake audiences will eat it up no matter what, but casting Larry Gatlin and Diana Degarmo would be genius.

Whatever its faults or good points, Paint Your Wagon has forever been hilariously tainted by the parody of it on the Simpsons...

If it's headed to Broadway, it's going to need a bigger star than Larry Gatlin.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
