Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:00pmThe hit London revival of SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE will play the Roundabout next year: at Studio 54. Fabulous revival: but it probably would have been more ideal at the American Airlines theatre...

i KNEW it was gonna be at 54. something told me they had to put it there to make excuses as to why the staging will be sparse...

Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:07pmYay! But it probally won't be a year until we see it on Broadway. It's going to be a long wait!

Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:07pmI need to see this.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:08pmDid you see the London revival, Folky? Not that you aren't still entitled to your opinion, but you would be in the vast minority of people who didn't think the staging and design of this new production was fabulous.

Sorry...2008. I should have explained.
EDIT: I assumed since most Roundabout productions are limited that this one would be as well so I was looking for any insight.

Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:14pmi didn't MichaelBennett but i knew if Roundabout put their hands on it, i was bound to be disappointed in some fashion or other.
#13re: SUNDAY IN THE DISCO WITH GEORGE
Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:14pmWell, assuming you mean June 2008 -- probably not. Roundabout shows typically play limited engagements. Even with an extension, it probably wouldn't play longer than 4 months.

Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:19pmAaaaaaand, cue the angelic music I have saved specifically for this news.
"We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in it's flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung, the dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future too."

Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:20pmThe Roundabout has done okay with their "transfers." With Buntrock again directing, and the physical production recreated, I can see no reason why this production shouldnt be superb in New York - if its cast well.
#17re: SUNDAY IN THE DISCO WITH GEORGE
Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:36pmSuch a beautiful show. I'm glad that this production is transferring from London, no matter how long I'll have to wait to see it.

Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:49pmWell, there is already the Disco version of SWEENEY TODD. I think if they do a Broadway cast recording, of SUNDAY they should have a hidden disco track of "Children and Art."

Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:49pmHusk have you ever heard the Disco Sweeney Todd Remix? I can never decide if I love it because it's so awful or I hate it because it's so wonderful...

Posted: 2/13/07 at 9:56pmBack in the day, it seemed everything had a disco remix. There was a 12" single and it turned up on a Book of the Month Sondheim box on CD. I assume it's out there on the internet somewhere.
