We've been struggling to think of musicals for our next season. Normally we do a big well known show and thats what brings in the crowds during the summer. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. We have recently done: Nunsense, Honk!, West Side Story, Funny Girl, Grease, Little Shop of Horrors, and Oklahoma Thanks so Much ------------- I think I'll try Defying Gravity

This is a play with music, not a musical as such! Which might be worth having a look at! 'Man of La Mancha' ------------- Joe Western Gondawandaland turn right @ Perth. Hear the light & see the sound. Toi Toi Toi Chookas {{"chook [chicken] it is"} May you always play to a full house} |

What's your distinction, Gaafa, between a "musical" and a "play with music"? ------------- POB Old Bugger, Curmudgeon, and Antisocial B**tard |

If "Cats" is ever released on DVD ....
... Do you think they'll offer a version in "Litterbox" format? ------------- "None of us really grow up. All we ever do is learn how to behave in public." -- Keith Johnstone |

ILYYPNC
Our theatre just produced iI Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change! and it was the most successful musical we have done in years! Though it is written for four individuals - two men and two women - you can adjust that cast as it fits your theatre. I still have audience members ask me if we can do just one more show, and ILYYPNC closed 8 months ago! ------------- "We do not remember days, we remember moments!" ~ Cesare Pavese |

It is not mine but ?Wasserman? the auteur, who made this designation. As he wrote MOLM as a Radio Play originally & music was only added later to make it more commercially acceptable, I believe! ------------- Joe Western Gondawandaland turn right @ Perth.
