Interesting! Wonder if this is for the Public? Or maybe City Center?

Timbers calls this his favorite musical ever. So if it’s indeed a passion project, that helps momentum.

Sweaty Oracle has been posting for a while about this being in the pipeline, but this is the first public acknowledgment I’ve seen. 

I wonder how much it’s been adjusted? The published script has the male lead doing Raul Julia’s famous trick of moving from high Shakespearean English to Puerto Rican Spanish and then to Spanglish in the middle with his famous Nuyorican-British hybrid dialect.

Any word on the casting for the reading? I'm guessing Jordan Fisher as Valentine, Hannah Cruz as Julia, Jasmine Cephas Jones as Silvia, Bonnie Milligan as Lucetta, Chuck Cooper as the Duke, Will Roland as Thurio...

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
