Gigi - 1973 - Broadway Articles Page 4

According to the Stage, Heidi Thomas is hard at work writed a revised book for an upcoming Broadway production of GIGI. The Upstairs Downstairs writer told the Stage: 'It was the best adaptation project I have been offered this year. I do love musical theatre - I have always loved it as a punter and always longed to write one, but thought I would never be asked. I have just started work on the book and that is very exciting. I am immersing myself in the novels of Colette and of the period.'

It is practically impossible to get the images of Leslie Caron, Louis Jourdan, Maurice Chevalier and Hermione Gingold out of one's mind when seeing Gigi, as they, in the original film (1958) lifted the musical to a higher, more colorful level of interest. It's not that the musical isn't in some ways delightful, but it is certainly not on a par with Lerner and Loewe's triumph My Fair Lady. The stage musical came along long after the movie (1973), and this version has been scrupulously improved by director David Lee who bases the script on the 1985 West End production. All this considered, the current cast @ Reprise and director Lee are all top pros who do their best to make Gigi a pleasurable experience.
