Come on, fellow Pittsburghers, this the CLO we're talking about here! This is the group that schedules two Rodgers and Hammerstein shows in the same season because they can't think of anything else to do!

And as for why they're doing it, I can tell you in two words:

Doctor Dolittle.

CHA CHING!!!!!!

We are getting it here in Boston too.. well NSMT is doing it just north of here. This show will do very well for any company doing it. As much as I wish they were NOT doing it... at least it is new. Would rather sit through High School Musical 100x than see 1776 a second time at Lyric. What a piece of crap that production was.. and in general it is a weak musical.. it is more like a play with music... and boring at that... the mark of a good score is if you can sing at least one song around a piano with a bunch of show queens! LOL.. 1776 fails that test!!!

The CLO has slipped so far downhill... their last few seasons have just been... lame. Dear fellow Pittsburghers: go to the Public instead!

Oh and also, I go to the high school in that article mentioned as doing it. So, uhm, yeah, my school is doing it too. Only not in the spring like that article says.
