Everything's looking all but confirmed. Where could this go?

With her Spiderman experience, maybe she can really get this to fly?

While I'd love to see this revived...this doesn't seem like the right fit.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I just don't think she's that good of a director, The Lion King doesn't flow as a show ( it looks stunning ) but it starts and stops and really isn't that good direction wise

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Schizophrenic directing. Julie cannot direct feelings or emotions. Many actors have a problem with her. She can make beautiful stage pictures but the story falls through the cracks. These stage pictures most times have nothing at all to do with the story. Then they are clumsily linked together with the text. I used to be in awe of her work, however after seeing many productions I now come away with a feeling she is holding the piece at arms distance wondering how she pee on it to make it hers. See Julie Taymor's The Tempest.

$10 says she's hoping the Lyric opens in time...

A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.

Wasn't Miss Saigon based on M,Butterfly? It would be interesting to see both shows playing on Broadway at once,,, I know that RENT and La Boheme played at the same time....

No. Miss Saigon and M. Butterfly are both based on Madame Butterfly. Miss Saigon is more of a direct adaptation. M. Butterfly is more of a commentary on it.

Thanks, Thought M.Butterfly was just an abbreviation of Madame Butterfly,

There are no Japanese characters in M. Butterfly.

Which is why we need Julie Taymor to add them! Try to keep up.

Anyone who says that Taymor can not direct feelings or emotions, clearly, did not see GROUNDED at the Public.

I see lots and lots of beautiful red and black and orange and puppets and most of the text excised.

"Anyone who says that Taymor can not direct feelings or emotions, clearly, did not see GROUNDED at the Public."

Really? You're really going to give Taymor, a director famous for no connection with text, credit for Hathaway's acting performance in a one-actor show?

I think the Booth is pretty much its only option, unless one or more of Bandstand/Indecent/Play That Goes Wrong are shifted to a Labor Day closing, considering it's confirmed at a Shubert Theatre.

For some reason, I kept envisioning the Walter Kerr for this, but guess that ain't happening.

I could see it going to the Booth, and would be a good fit as well. Sad it's spending the summer empty.

I hope the Producers gave deep pockets! Taymor is not one known for staying anywhere near budget.

I think you can safely count Indecent closing by Labor Day.
