Public Theater — Page 2

Rudin is co-producing Sondheim's new show isn't he? The last new musical Sondheim had on Broadway was Passion, which I think was produced by Lincoln Center and Scott Rudin, right? That didn't premier anywhere before Broadway. Maybe The Public and Rudin will take Bunuel right to Broadway in a collaboration like Passion. Idk. Maybe I'm reaching. Also, Rudin likes to do a late winter/spring musical every year now it seems. Maybe this is his 2019 musical.

Per the NY TIMES-Public article yesterday:

The season will not include a new musical by Stephen Sondheim, based on two films by Luis Buñuel, that the composer at one point had hoped would be ready for a production at the Public Theater last year. A spokeswoman for the Public, Candi Adams, said “it’s a musical in development, and we will happily be doing it when it’s ready.”
