New Conservatory Theatre's ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER

New Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco is getting ready to present their production of the revised version of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. It'll be the first production of the revised version since the recent Broadway revival starring Harry Connick, Jr. and Jessie Mueller (in her Broadway debut).

In this article, producer Liza Lerner and director Michael Mayer talk about their original approach for the revised version as well as what went wrong.

Can anyone lead me to a copy of the script for this/revival production?

I always thought this had more potential. I saw it at Powerhouse with Brian d'Arcy James & Anika Noni Rose and found it to be a brilliant reimagining.

I think a version mixing the "Present" from the original and the "Past" from the revival would be ideal.

This revisal made absolutely no sense. As dumb as the original book was, this was worse. Talk about Dumb and Dumber. And the ugly B'way design and a sleep-walking Connick were no help.

The revisal was not only stupid, it was unbearably boring. Melinda had absolutely no story at all, and her songs were irrelevant interpolations. The faux-wacky-60s-a-la-Laugh-In sets, costumes, and staging were DOA. There was, ultimately, no point to the gay storyline, as the shrink showed no attraction whatsoever to Davy (even though logic would indicate that what he physically saw during the love scenes was Davy, not Melinda-in-Davy).

The only thing I found breathtaking were my yawns of ennui.
