I wonder if this will be in the same vein as Girl from the North Country. Bleak and somber.
I am not a fan of Jukebox musicals but I have seen seen around 20 1/2 since the 70's. (I left at intermission for one) I paid to see 4 of them. I LOVED "Girl From the North Country" and may have liked "...North Country" the most because I was only familiar with 2 songs in the show so, for me, it was like hearing an original score. I am just not interested in spending money to see a show with music that I have had for years in my personal library. That's just me.
I am a huge James Taylor fan. Reading that this will have an original story makes me want to see it. Glad it isn't a bio type musical. I just hope it is a good story. I like both Letts' and Cromer's work so I am hoping this will be good! This, I will pay to see. JMO
With Nederlander producing and the two having the Steppenwolf connection this will probably premiere with Broadway in Chicago.
James Taylor is definitely an artist I appreciate very much, but never loved, and I’m an over the jukebox musical trend. But there’s no collaboration more likely to get me to buy tickets than Letts and Cromer.
