I've been listening to the recording a lot lately, and it's obviously too soon for a revival on Broadway, but I've been thinking of Judy Kuhn playing Margaret and Sierra Boggess playing Clara. I didn't know Judy was a year older than Victoria Clark until I just googled them both, but that doesn't seem too old to play the character. I thought of Sierra because I loved her voice on her 54 Below album. Anyone think a major production will happen soon? I love the score so much, I think my favorite lyric is: "The beauty is when you realize someone could be looking for a someone like you." That's so true.
"Contentment, it seems, simply happens. It appears accompanied by no bravos and no tears."
I certainly would like Kelli O'Hara to play her maybe in ten years or so. She would probably be splendid. I love her as Clara, although I've heard some people complained her Clara seems too competent.
Judy Kuhn is one of those people who I believe can sing literally anything. She can belt up a storm and she has a beautiful soprano. I was a child in the 90's and her singing Pocahontas was always my favorite Disney soundtrack. Just Around the Riverbend still gives me chills.
Also: when will Adam Guettel write a new show? It's been far too long.

>>Also: when will Adam Guettel write a new show? It's been far too long.<< he supposedly was working on "The Princess Bride" and a few others - as of February 2012 ("Millions" "The Invisible Man" (hmm, why not Ellison's "Invisible Man", stories of Washington Irving, Days of Wine and Roses.)
Disney picked up the stage rights to The Princess Bride a couple of years ago. While it seems to be stalled, there are still rumors that they haven't completely abandoned it yet.
I wish I could hear his score for it. Im sure someone has a recording or sheet music. It would be nice if his score was published as a concept recording or just an album. Im sure it was a beautiful score.
