Boy From Oz worked because you had the single most charismatic leading man Broadway's seen in three decades working his behind off to sell a bunch of hackneyed numbers to appreciative yentas in the first five rows. (I, of course, was glad to finally hear the opening number from Legs Diamond without having to shell out for the cast recording, but that's just me...)


Hmmm, you weren't in the first five rows were you Elan?

I like all the avatars I've seen of you, George. You always seem to be smiling and just look like a pleasant fellow!

Why, thank you!  And I am a pleasant fellow! ;D

Not even close, although at the performance I was at, Jackman went up on one of his lines, and someone in the second row was able to prompt him...

I do not have a favorite JukeBox Musical OR a favorite musical made from a movie musical.....I don't like either genre....and they ALL get onto my LAST nerve.....

Says someone who is on the board of a group doing both FOOTLOOSE and SINGIN' IN THE RAIN this summer.....against my vote to be sure.

"Singin' In the Rain"....the ORIGINAL Jukebox musical! :D

Ooh! Getting back to the TOD, a They Might Be Giants musical could be extremely cool. (We won't mention the abomination that was People are Wrong! around here, right?)

There will be NO mocking of "Singin' in the Rain" in my presence, thankyewverymuch... it was the first stage show I ever saw, and my siblings and I spent the next weeks bantering back and forth in our best nasal voices: "and I can't stand him!" "caaahhnt!" "caaaant!")

That being said, I'd probably mock the show if I saw it today... *sigh* to paraphrase Terry Pratchett: It's not that I wish that I knew then what I know now; I wish that I didn't know now what I didn't know then...

I don't think I like any jukebox shows. It seems they just don't want to write any music. And the songs don't seem to fit the story.

Back from first errands and shall now work on a lyric, and make a few telephonic calls, and package up two orders.

I was fortunate to have seen SINGIN' IN THE RAIN onstage in London, where it met with a bit more success IIRC than it did in NY.  It was exciting to see Tommy Steele (sp?) live.

DR FJL - do you know if that production debuted in London after the NY production had closed?  Just curious.

Yes, I saw it in London, also.  I enjoyed seeing Tommy Steele, but it certainly didn't seem like I watching a brand new musical.  Half of us in the audience were saying the lines along with the actors.

No, I believe it played in London first.
