Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

I hear they're courting Cameron Diaz to play "Sherie."

Posted: 3/26/10 at 7:21pmIt's about time we hear anything from "Everyday Rapture"s transfer to Broadway. I hope they stick with everyone from off-Broadway loved eamon foley :)

Posted: 3/26/10 at 7:23pmThe house is way too big for an intimate show like this, but whatever...
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 3/26/10 at 8:08pmI originally saw the show on a whim. However, I loved every second of it. I do think that it might just work. I do feel that Scott has the ability to play to a bigger house. However, I think it might be a bit tough due to the fact that Kitt and Mayer have not only been involved with this show, they are also involved with American Idiot. I wonder if that might cause some problems with the overlap.

Would love it this could happen.
Also...the New York Times continues it's sloppy spiral with:
...in his New York Times review, Ben Brantley called it “one of the year’s most extravagantly entertainment new musicals”
huh?

Posted: 3/26/10 at 11:49pmwould it be able to open in time for Tony consideration??
A Chorus Line revival 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. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Really? I would much rather see Sherrie do it herself.

Posted: 3/26/10 at 11:54pmI wonder if the producers of American Idiot would be happy with Mayer and Kitt working on a competing musical at the same time (one that could take nominations or awards from Idiot). Though I think this could go in pretty quickly. And American Idiot seems pretty frozen at this point (allowing Mayer and Kitt to work on Rapture while Idiot is still in previews). Still, I think that this would be a great choice (and get Roundabout some Tony nominations).

Posted: 3/27/10 at 12:23amI know nothing about the content of EVERYDAY RAPTURE except that it does not have original music...correct? So both EVERYDAY RAPTURE and AMERICAN IDIOT would not be competing in the Best Score categories...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 3/27/10 at 12:44amI would LOVE for this to happen! I saw Rapture with my mom at Second Stage and we both had a blast!

Rapture does not have an original score, no.
If this happens, it will certainly shake up the Best Actress and Best Musical categories.

AMERICAN IDIOT would not be competing in the Best Score categories...
I believe the AI producers are aiming for a "The Whos' "Tommy"" situation citing that the cd was written as a rock opera...

There is one big thing between the scores of American Idiot and Tommy. And, that is that the score for Tommy was not 100 per cent music form the original 1969 album. Townshend wrote two songs just for the Broadway production.
American Idiot's score uses music that has been released before. Granted the score consist of songs from the album American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown as well as some B-Sides. However, the entire score has been out and people have heard it before in some form or fashion.
I think that the reason why Tommy won for best score was on a technicality. Jukebox musicals or revue's cannot win best score. However, the score for Tommy was not entirely a jukebox score and that those two songs prevented it from being a full fledged jukebox musical. Whereas, American Idiot had no new songs just for the show itself.

If this happens, Scott has the Tony in the bag IMO. Whether or not the show would be deemed strong enough in itself to win Best Musical is questionable but 90% of the reason this show works so well is Scott herself. She was first-rate at Second Stage and I'm sure will amp up the volume even more if the show transfers this season.
I absolutely loved CZJ in NIGHT MUSIC but I would vote for Scott in a heartbeat (based solely on her performance at 2ST).

If this were to open in time for Tony eligibility, this may just be the jolt this dull season needs. It would be a game changer for sure.
