Yay! for THE MOST HAPPY FELLA and the new two-theater complex!
Meh... for SUNSET (it's a good score, but it only has three songs!) and ELLING (do we really need another play based on a movie?)
I haven't read any of Neil LaBute's plays, so I can't comment on FAT PIG.

For Fat Pig, I hope Jeremy Piven reprises the role of Tom (MCC, 2004-2005).

I find his comment about the "flight of producers" interesting. Does he not know about the economy? It is happening on Broadway and in Hollywood.

Norma is the only one in the production that doesn't play an instrument.

An Actor-Instrument show not by Doyle?

SUNSET is a fabulous production. It's done by the same company that gave Doyle his shot with SWEENEY (the Watermill?), only this one is directed by Craig Horwood (spelling?), who is known in the UK for Strictly Come Dancing, I believe.
It's an intelligent, swift and intense production; the instrumentation is not confusing or obtrusive; the whole thing works very, very well. Even though it's the same song repeated over and over. The important thing, though, is that it's extremely watchable.
Norma's the only one who doesn't play an instrument. And Kathryn Evans, who essayed the role as I saw it in London, was tremendous. Not a caricature, not a lunatic, but a sad, sad human.

Hopefully the The Most Happy Fella revival will have a full orchestra unlike the previous revival.
