skynyc Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 They're touting this as a "NEW" musical, with a completely different book by David Thompson, who adapted Chicago's script for the Encores/now long-running Broadway production, and wrote the books for Scottsboro Boys, Thou Shalt Not, and Steel Pier; and Sharon Washington who was in Scotsboro Boys, and has written a play called Feeding the Dragon. Additional lyrics are being provided by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Directed by Susan Strohman. They've just announced the leads: Colton Ryan...(who was just leading the tour of Moulin Rouge, I think,) and Anna Uzele, who was in the recent revival of Once on this Island, and played Catherine Parr (survived) in SIX. They're pulling songs from numerous Kander/Ebb sources...and mention new songs as well. Should be interesting. Marc in Calif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, gotta edit this one. Susan Stroman. She's also (still) working on getting a Crazy For You revival back on Broadway. And it's not Colton Ryan, but Conor Ryan who's the current Christian in the Moulin Rouge national tour. Colton is an entirely different fella who's doing NY NY. skynyc, thomas, + WilliamM and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
