The Broadway.com article got me interested. I love the cast, and the creative team. The premise of the story seems interesting. Has anyone heard the material and have any opinions?

I am so thrilled that Judy Kaye is going to originate a new Broadway role- and with Victoria Clark too! This is a diva-lover's dream come true! Fairy Godmothers unite!
not sure why they would change the name. This musical is based on the novel "Madame Sousatzka" which was made into a film in 1988 starring Shirley Maclaine as Sousatzka. Maclaine won a Golden Globe Award and Jessica Tandy was nominated for the BAFTA Awards for her role as Lady Emily. The title reminds me of "The Madwoman of Chaillot "
I would also imagine they'd have some trouble attracting investments unless they ditch Garth Drabinsky. He was indicted for fraud and cant legally travel to the US
Also the name really isn't that bad. If people were able to figure out a way to pronounce Les Miserables for the last thirty or so years, they can figure out how to say Sousatzka.
