And isn't LENNON open already?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I think ACL is next season...

Don't forget the Bob Dylan/Twyla Tharp musical (still untitled, I believe). Michael Arden is in it, so it has at least one bright spot!

Also, you forgot LESTAT.

PJ Game!

Question: Will Esparza win for The Homecoming? BobbyBubby: I hope so. If only for the mental health of many people on this board.

I think The Color Purple is going to be a hit. Personally, I'm looking foward to Sweeney Todd and a Chorus Line ( I know I know, 2006-2007 Season)

Happy...Everything! Kaye Thompson

I'm gonna say the big shows will be "Sweeney Todd" and "Tarzan"

And of course don't forget about Princesses! Whenever that gets to Broadway, I think it's going to be HUGE. Brent Barrett!!!

I don't quite understand how they will pull off Tarzan, because they seemed to be very unorganized.

I am hoping Woman in White will have Michael Ball, and I'm interested in Sweeney Todd's revival.

Only 3 Penny, Sweeny, and Lennon sound exciting to me. I'm not getting a great vibe from the rest of the shows. I don't know how this season will fare.

Pajama Game will likely not happen this season.

Hopefully the funding will come through for "Jerry Springer: The Opera". I heard an interview recently with David Bedella, and he said he was under contract to play The Warm-Up Man/Satan in the US production should there be one.

I think Jerry Springer has the potential to be a colossal flop here. I don't think enough producers are insane enough to fund a Broadway run, and if they are I would be absolutely shocked if it were a commercial success.

I think Jerry would work well in a non-profit setting (ie Lincoln Center) or at one of the smaller Broadway houses (Circle in the Square).

I am extremely excited for Woman in White and Lestat! I CAN'T wait!

Posted: 7/14/05 at 4:19pm

I don't care for ALW. But Lestat sounds interesting. And as for Tarzan. I don't know where I stand there. I didn't really like the movie. I thought it was weak. But we'll see about the show.

Jersey Boys was GREAT at The La Jolla Playhouse.

Chita Rivera : The Dancer's Life

Although plenty of the kiddies here have no idea who she is.

re: UPCOMING BROADWAY SEASON#24

Posted: 7/14/05 at 6:33pm

ACL will likely be all unknowns/veteran chorus dancers who aren't names (with the possible exception of Cassie).

Besides, it doesn't start until NEXT season (2006-2007)

I, personally, am really looking forward to TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, which is playing the park, but is a major revival nonetheless.
