All I want is Laura Osnes as Clara and Rebecca Luker as Magaret after seeing Cinderella last week.

I've been listening to the recording a lot lately, and it's obviously too soon for a revival on Broadway, but I've been thinking of Judy Kuhn playing Margaret and Sierra Boggess playing Clara. I didn't know Judy was a year older than Victoria Clark until I just googled them both, but that doesn't seem too old to play the character. I thought of Sierra because I loved her voice on her 54 Below album. Anyone think a major production will happen soon? I love the score so much, I think my favorite lyric is: "The beauty is when you realize someone could be looking for a someone like you." That's so true.

I second the Judy Kuhn casting. Lord I could listen to that lady sing for hours. Her voice is so electric.

Kelli O'Hara has stated that she wants to play Margaret someday. I bet it will happen eventually.

I adore Piazza, but if I could have a Guettel show right now it would be a well-done production of Floyd Collins.

I certainly would like Kelli O'Hara to play her maybe in ten years or so. She would probably be splendid. I love her as Clara, although I've heard some people complained her Clara seems too competent.

Judy Kuhn is one of those people who I believe can sing literally anything. She can belt up a storm and she has a beautiful soprano. I was a child in the 90's and her singing Pocahontas was always my favorite Disney soundtrack. Just Around the Riverbend still gives me chills.

Also: when will Adam Guettel write a new show? It's been far too long.

he supposedly was working on "The Princess Bride" and a few others - as of February 2012 ("Millions" "The Invisible Man" (hmm, why not Ellison's "Invisible Man", stories of Washington Irving, Days of Wine and Roses.)


Playbill Needs Some Updating

Ah, yes, I recall the Princess Bride now. There was some kind of dispute between him and Goldman that ended it, I think? That's too bad.

Would love a revival of this.

Guettel thought the royalties should be split 1/3 each book, music and lyrics while Goldman wanted 75%, so Guettel walked.

So we'll never hear any of the music he wrote? That's terrible. I hope one of his shows comes to fruition soon.

Disney picked up the stage rights to The Princess Bride a couple of years ago. While it seems to be stalled, there are still rumors that they haven't completely abandoned it yet.

I wish I could hear his score for it. Im sure someone has a recording or sheet music. It would be nice if his score was published as a concept recording or just an album. Im sure it was a beautiful score.
