i'm also very interested of any new shows from him.

he seems to just shoot them out one after the other, and yet they're really good material!

I read somewhere that there is a production of See What I Wanna See in Boston and that he is going to be doing a post-show discussion after an upcoming performance.

I swear there was something he was working on, like perhaps a commissioned opera, although I couldn't find anything through Google so I might have made that up one night.

bwaysinger - are you referring to Lincoln Center? They commissioned LaChiusa, Tesori, and Guettel each to write an opera in '09, I think?

Wikipedia mentions: Send (who are you? i love you) (2006)

Idunno if 2006 means it DID get a production sometime last year or hasn't yet though...

That was Audra's piece for Houston Grand Opera. That happened almost a year ago and they broadcasted it on the radio in Novemeber. It was lovely.

"Send (etc.)" sounds like an Internet Musical - which could be a great idea. Two songs from it were included in Hotel C'est L'Amour.
Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!

It indeed was a one-woman piece based around an internet love affair.

He recently had, though I can't remember the title, a musical in California, I believe, performed that had quite a bit of past material as well as some new stuff. I think? I remember seeing an article on it a while back.

A truly brilliant man!

Hotel C'est L'Amour was the name of his LA Revue.
