Didn't Will Swenson just do a reading for this? And I know he is busy with Hair. For some reason, I thought he was attached to this. Just like Playbill.com has Gavin Creel still attached to Godspell LOL

Stark Sands is marvelous and I would look forward to this coming to New York at some point to see him as Clyde Barrow.

Different BONNIE & CLYDE- Swenson did the reading for the one with the book by Hunter Foster and music & lyrics by Rick Crom.

Aha.... thanks for the clarification! I wonder if the Hunter Foster one will go into production, too.....

Definitely more interested with Stark Sands attached to the project - takes the edge off having to deal with another WIldhorn score.

Say what you will, but I like Wildhorn. I think he writes some beautiful melodies, but just seems to get bogged down with crappy projects. I'm looking forward to this though. I like the cast involved.

Philly, Cyco and I were actually discussing this last night and wondering who would be in it! It should be good, but we were discussing the possibility of a transfer and it would make more sense if Wonderland transferred first

I wonder who's going to step in for Nellie in the interim between Laura leaving and Kelli returning?

Kelli is coming back in October.

Forgive me. Clearly I skipped elementary school and don't know that October is before November. Wow. Brain lapse.

When this production was first announced I mused in a thread on this board whether or not Laura would be going to California. I knew she would be done SP in time.

I, personally, think this is a fabulous opportunity for Laura. The role of Bonnie Parker is so, drastically, different from anything Laura has done thus far. I don't know how well the book is written but this could really enable her to flex her acting muscles. I really hoped that she would get the part to help her break out of her mold. This could really help her career.

Congrats to Osnes + Sands, et al.

We'll see how this one goes .. I'm still saying Wonderland will transfer first - reportedly that cast will be announced by the end of the month as well.

What ever happened to THE BALLAD OF BONNIE & CLYDE?

Dana Rowe (THE FIX, WITCHES OF EASTWICK) wrote the score and it got very good reviews at the Fringe Fest or wherever a few years ago.

TWO other takes on the story have made it further? Dana really can't get a break in the US, sheesh!

When is Foster's version slated to be presented? Is there going to be another situation a la the Wild Party?

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention...I'm the good cop, he's the bad cop.

The Foster/Crom adaptation seems a bit more promising.

As a big Wildhorn fan, I don't even think this is that promising. The score is OK, some real gems in there and then some .. why are they in there from what I have heard of it...Wonder how much of it changed!

From Wildhorn's track record he's probably replaced the terrible songs with even more terrible ones.

The Jekyll and Hyde concept recording is pretty damn fantastic. I'll never understand some of the changes he made.

Probably ... but not to comment too much on J&H, but several of the changes for Broadway worked better than before. The best desicions, however were the orchestration tune-up (got rid of those '80s sounding things!) and the set design (for the most part) ..!

I don't think Frank will be listening to any directors telling him to make a show more family friendly but cutting a saucy prostitute song (Bring on the Men) by trying to tell the audience she is actually a lounge singer, with still a partial prostitute dance / she was obviously a prostitute. Oh well! Remember all that "necessary" nudity in DRACULA, the musical? Haha.

Got a last minute invite to the reading they did today.... and absolutely loved it. Theres some definite tweaks that need to be made, but the whole cast put in a great performance. Laura and Stark have great chemistry, and pretty much every single cast member had a moment to shine. Looking forward to the La Jolla production, it will be interesting to see what gets changed.

I am torn. I love Frank Wildhorn music, but Hunter Foster's version had Debra Monk involved and I LOVE Debra Monk. I'm not sure which one I want to succeed more.

The music from " Havana" written by Frank Wildhorn is really fantastic... very hot and
exciting.

This is a country & blues score. Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure is all over the map / mostly pop-y.

Havana is in serious talks to have a production (finally) in late 2010/2011, from what I've heard...remember when they were supposed to have it (still with Linda) in 2001? Pssh! Hahah.
