Any thoughts on this?  (as anyone who knows me knows I am always partial to trying to restage the original choreography for pieces where I think it is as essential to the musical as the score and book are, but--)

Having only seen a short video clip of this staging, (a bit of HELLO TWELVE...)I've gotta say, it still looks mostly like Michael Bennet's steps, simply rearranged into a wedge geometry that will work best on the thrust stage. Not sure I can call it truly brand new choreography, but of course I haven't seen the whole show.
