I think, if they do the costumes and staging right, it could probably run all year round. We still have Wicked, after all.
Jack should wear a black costume that has glow in the dark paint that can be played off of with black lights.
I would love to see Buster Pointdexter actually play Ooogie Boogie in the flesh, well, within the costume but he is an amazingly great performer over all.
It has to have both Burton/Elfman over seeing it. If anything to preserve their vision of the show.
Even though Christmas is mentioned in this production, so is Halloween and they threw in the Easter Bunny just for fun. Because of this though as a show that would appeal to a large audience with built in great songs, wonderfully creative characters, it just seems like it would do very well on Broadway.
I know, crowding a stage with Movie themes isn't my ideal either. I do really enjoy this Movie and always imagined it as a stage show. It should be brought out just so it has touring rights. Like Evil Dead, the Musical, we can always use a little fun and humor, especially during the Halloween/Christmas Season. Though I really think, if the right creative minds get together, this show could easily gain enough of an audience to support it year round. The music and characters are just that good.
It's a great generational show too. Offering opportunities for performers of various ages. That is something many Stage Actors look forward to and we need more of in the future.
