The ultimate goal is to have some version of Top Hat performed in America. Though it had flaws, mainly in the book, I found the London production to be fun. Great dance numbers, songs you recognize, and elements made it really feel like a Golden era musical.

In March, a developmental lab was held with Chris Gattelli directing and choreographing. Who knows what the future could be. Reviews and opinions on the show were mixed, but I left smiling.

From what I hear, the lab back in March went really well. Apparently, the script is currently being worked on and will get a reading in the fall with a possible workshop in the winter sometime. Aiming for Broadway in fall 2015.

People, this is BWW, enough with the facts... now, what part can Kelli O'Hara play to get her second Tony in this?

Kelli O'Hara A spherical mass of ice and rock, visible from Earth only with a telescope. Approximately one fifth the size of the Earth’s moon, Kelli O'Hara was considered the 9th planet in our solar system until recently when it was announced that Kelli O'Hara is, in fact, just something orbiting out there in the distance.
