Not sure how anyone would come up with "Ever After", put Sherlock Holmes on that one...

Erin Dilly Fan, someone in the other thread actually did suggest Ever After. I believe every one of the shows announced was mentioned in the other thread before the announcement.

I'm just really curious as to how "big" Hunchback is going to be. Like design wise.

I've mentioned it before on here, the treatment I've read (and written by someone VERY close to Peter and the Starcatchers) has it very scaled down. Don't expect lavish sets and costumes. It's none of that.

They have a great season. I might actually attempt to catch all five shows. Makes up for the rather boring season they put out this year(2012-13).

I was reading the wikipedia entry for Der Glockner/Hunchback, which lists that Alexander Dodge is the set designer. After consulting his website (alexanderdodgedesign.com), I realized that he's already designed a production (a play adaptation?) of Hunchback in Canada. You can see some nice photos/set mockups on the site.

Is anyone willing to guess that this design is being modified for Papermill?

Ripped Man, I mean no judgement. I'm just curious. Many of your posts focus on how "big" a production is (ie Little Miss S, Hunchback, hand to God). Is this a determining factor in your enjoyment of a show or in your sense of whether the show will be commercially successful?

Anyone have any idea when they'll start selling tickets for Hunchback?

As an aging old-timer, I'm interested in the revival of Can-Can. The book was ALWAYS execrable, but the score, production and, especially, the choreography made it memorable. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the book revisions, but I also vividly remember what a mess they did with On A Clear Day in an effort to "improve" the book -- and it was far worse than the original, which was no great shakes to start with. Hope springs eternal, I guess.

Is the HUNCHBACK timing to accomodate a TV/Actor from Broadway?

The Can Can revivial should be intriguing. Joel Fields who reworked the book is a really good writer!

Looks like Papermill is almost like an out of town tryout pre Broadway these days and it makes sense. They did Honeymoon in Vegas recently . Cheaper prices( for producers instead of renting a Broadway theater) nd a way to keep reviewers out of the theater until the show is ready.
