I'm very excited about this particular project. In 1997, I saw Douglas perform in the Scarlet Pimpernel, that show was death but he was absolutely brilliant. To the point that I made a note of his name and it caught my attention 14 years later. This musical seems original and relevant and it has a tremendously talented cast. I hope it is horribly successful and makes a billion dollars so that producers will stop producing crap like the Wedding Singer, the musical. See my comment about Catch Me If You Can.
I've been following the progress of this musical for a while, and I'm really excited to see it opening at last. The concept for the show sounds really fascinating, and I think it has the potential to say something really important. Since music today is so clouded, and it seems that the sheer volume and the hugeness of the bass matter more than the lyrical content, it will be exciting to see how this show both tells a story where lyrics are the source of hate, and to see how the show's own score stacks up against the current trend of very "loud" musicals. I'm hoping it will remain original and insightful, because we could certainly use more originality when so many shows are mixing existing things together, and not necessarily telling new stories.
