The tongue is giving Taboo or Hedwig... the stars Titanic or A Little Night Music... And I bet the last one is City of Angels with no context but that single music note. lol.
Could the single music note be BABES IN ARMS? ("Johnny One Note" ) Encores did it in the 90s, but Doug Carter Beane did a revisal of it at a summer stock theatre in 2021. Great score that I wouldn't mind hearing live.
Mary-Mitchell Campbell told the NYT she wants to do CITY OF ANGELS and the production of LOVE LIFE that was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Could that production of WHOREHOUSE that Jeffrey Richards has been trying to get off the ground for years be the tongue?
Fingers crossed for a Hedwig production! I will gladly get tickets for that!
Any clues on what their Fall Gala show will be?
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince
With the blank in blank redacted post. I do wonder if little night music is one of the three. If this could potentially be Julie andrews in little night music ( finally)
Why on earth would Encores do HEDWIG just 10 years after a much-lauded Broadway revival and tour that ran a year and a half?? Let’s use our heads, please!
Hedwig had a Bway production 10 years ago. Why would it need an Encores prod?
And I'll be shocked if it was Taboo. There's a ton of affection for that score among artists but I'd heard the rights weren't avail, a hard no. If so, I wonder who is involved that managed to sweet talk Boy George.
I don’t know any behind the scenes of TABOO, but to me there’s a logic behind doing it at Encores or someplace:
You go to Boy George & his management and say “hey, we know you didn’t love the way the Broadway production went down, let’s work with you to restore the show to something you approve, while also securing worldwide rights so the show can be licensed and produced.”
And licensing & a potential future life means money. And artists like money.

The first-class rights to the Styne/Charlap/Leigh/Comden/Green PAN are tied up. NETWORKS is producing a new tour that starts this coming December, directed by Lonny Price & book revised by Larissa FastHorse - and if that goes over well, it could come to Broadway.
