What ever happened to the musical based on The House of Bernarda Alba?

Michael John LaChiusa is writing it. It'll debut at Lincoln Center in January.

I predict a laugh-riot to rival the producers!

That's unfair. Are you familiar with his work? LaChiusa is a brilliant composer who is very sensitive to his source material. If anyone other than LaChiusa were doing it I would be concerned.

It is going to be amazing! I've heard who is in the workshop cast and hopefully make the trasfer to Broadway - or the Mitzi actually. It is going to be great!

Looking forward to this play. Hope the workshop cast stays the same for the show.

As a fan of LaChiusa and HUGE fan of Lorca, this looks intriguing...but will it be a case of "this-should-have-been-an-opera-not-a-musical"?

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Why all the tease concerning the workshop cast? Is it a secret?
