I did a little April Fool's joke about Taylor Swift recently, but this is not a joke. Swift might possibly collaborate with Harvey Weinstein on a new Broadway musical. Swift does have great songwriting skills and this might not be a bad collaboration. What do you all think about this?
Taylor Swift to Collaborate with Harvey Weinstein on New Broadway Musical?
I hope it's about a bitter little girl who keeps breaking up with guys so that she can make money off of writing about them.

Word on the street says that it's going to be a musical about a young innocent country girl who finds success as a singer/songwriter. She wins the industry's most prestigious award and just as she steps to the microphone, tears in her eyes, to proclaim her love of life and God, a black man runs out of the wings, grabs the microphone and says that someone else deserves the award.
I hope Billy Porter is in the running to be the Black Man character.

I hope Chestor Gregory II plays the black guy..
Chester doesn't have the pipes for this vocally demanding role.
The songs won't be vocally demanding if Taylor is writing them.
The male characters won't get to sing any songs if Taylor is writing them.

There will be three different point-of-view songs: one from the POV of the country girl, one from the POV of the black man, and one from the Diva who should have won. I hope Patina Miller plays the Diva who should have won.
Better for her writing than her starring in one.
Ok, I'm a big fan of Taylor Swift and I think she's a great songwriter, but FINDING NEVERLAND?! That's the most random person to write songs for it. Out of all Tony-winning musical theatre writers...Taylor Swift???

You definitely need to work on your reading comprehension. Harvey Weinstein is courting Swift to write for a different new musical and, as part of that process, invited her to come to a reading of FINDING NEVERLAND - the other new musical he's currently developing and producing, which already has a book and score and has been produced in London. Read the article.
Liza's Headband beat me to it. It's obviously not going to be FINDING NEVERLAND.
Finding Neverland already has its own share of songwriter drama.
Sorry, guys. Misread it.
This will be interesting.
(sigh) Taylor Swift? I'm still waiting for Walter Afanasieff to compose a score
With that overbite, she'd make a great Bugs Bunny.

Put her in Hearts & Light, Harvey.
