Oh too bad it's closing on B'way. I was excited that it's on next season's schedule in my neck of the woods though :)

Wasn't there a Huncback show at MGM for awhile? I can't remember.

You know what I think should go to Broadway, purely on the basis of music alone? Hercules

I agree that Hercules would be a good Broadway show ~ love that music!

Yes, there was a show at MGM Studios. This will be a full-length, 2-Act show though. I'm wicked excited about it :]

I agree! I've also always thought that Mulan would be a fierce musical on Broadway. Especially choreography wise. There is a ton of potential for theatrical conventions there. :D
