That's about it. "Size matters" is rather ironic with all this gossip about the Hilton and the fact that it's a larger theatre. Coinkydink I'm sure.

There's many threads, but nothing ACTUALLY happened. A new billboard was put up saying "IT'S ALIVE! THIS FALL!"
or something like that...

I would love to see Blazing Saddles the Musical. The poster, going with the same approach, sould simply say, "THE SHERIFF IS A NEAR!"

For recent news, follow the threads and news items announcing the Seattle opening out of town.
As for the Blazing Saddles Musical, I can just hear Slim Pickens' heir apparent singing "you use your tongue prettier than a hundred dollar wh*re"

But you could never duplicate the sight gag of Mongo punching a horse in the jaw on stage. If it aint a real horse, it aint funny.
Plus, much like HOLY GRAIL, the movie doesn't really have an ending - it just kind of falls apart when they leave the western set and end up chasing through the Warner Brothers lot. Like SPAMALOT, they'd have to create a conventional ending.

If Gone With The Wind in London had a horse on stage, why not Blazing Saddles?
I always thought the movie had no ending so they would have to do something about that.

Actually, I always loved the ending of Blazing Saddles...when Little asked Wilder where he was headed, and the ending disintegrated into an all out romp around the back lot. Of course, we could not do that on stage, but a horse is no problem. Heck, Curtains has that fake horse that DHP rides, so why not a horse or two for Blazing Saddles?
Now what do we do about the toll booth?

a real horse onstage is very tricky business. yes, it's done, but one that can fake getting punched? 8 shows a week? not gonna happen.

jrb, I believe we were all joking about this...just having fun with what they might do for this wacky musical. At least I was joking...I suppose I should not speak for anyone else. Yes, the laws surrounding the use of animals on stage are pretty strict and for dogs, horses or other animals, handlers, appropriate working conditions and access to food and water are strictly enforced by the unions. I would doubt Stroman and Brooks would go this way so maybe the fake horse approach used by Curtains would be the way to go...and they could even have a TEAM of horses and a carriage as in the movie :)

Oh, I know--but then it did seem that some were considering the possibility for real. And, while I believe in trying any idea, I just know that horses are very skittish on stage--perhaps not all. Perhaps the ones who have the best training are not. It just seems like a very complicated bit.
And, if someone could make it work, they'd instantly deserve a Tony!
