One can hope.
really hoping this does well. would love to see it on Broadway this time next year.
Video evidence. Wish they had gone for someone with a little more of a rock edge... Alas...

Why the hate towards Elizabeth Stanley? I admit this isn't the kind of show she's done in the past, but I saw her in both On the Town then Bridges and thought she was phenomenal. Make no mistake, she can lead a musical.
No hate towards her. She's very professional and everything, but I think we all were expecting something more.
She led the Xanadu tour, so she can def do pop- kudos to the creatives for not going with the norm- maybe it's not meant to have a rock edge sound- we have 0 plot information other then source material. Inspired by doesn't mean a carbon copy of the original and those that want that can listen to the album. These once in a lifetime vocalists can be imitated, but not duplicated. I'm optimistic here, let's wait for more information.
Someone PLEASE tell them to cut the extra ensemble vocals and add in a string section in the pit. The score is good enough as is, and doesn't need those oooh and ahhhs. It all seems so bland without the signature whiny (in a good way) Alanis sound, Laurel sounds too polished.

The video presentation really reminds me of American Idiot and the orchestration / arrangements done by Tom Kitt....who is also working on Jagged Little Pill.
The entire cast and creative team have been announced.

This collaboration makes more sense now. At the time, I didn't know they were in the show together.

Celia Gooding is LaChanze’s daughter and every bit as talented as her mother.
The ensemble covers a wide range of ages, so it seems the plot is still based around the notion of problems and issues facing families and communities today (which is vague, at best). Still, I’m excited to see how this plays out.
Does anyone have discount codes/offers for this show? I will be in Boston on May 8th and planning on catching this then.
