Workload Question

I believe Kathleen Marshall has signed on for three shows next season with Broadway aspirations: Unsinkable Molly Brown (Denver Center, opening in September), Diner (Signature, December), Ever After (Paper Mill, May). Question for the experts here. Is it possible for a director to bring her "A" game to three prominent shows so close together? Doesn't someone need more than a few months between projects to really focus and do their best work? I look forward to your responses.

Both Diner and Ever After have been kicking around with Marshall for a while, so I'd imagine most of the pre-show work-concepts, designs, noodling with the text and score without an audience, et cetera-is largely squared away. The question was just finding a suitable berth for the two shows so that work could continue in earnest.

if they are all good, then no; if they are bad, then yes. post hoc ergo propter hoc. there is no right or wrong answer to your question; there are no rules. If you want to find something to criticize, then latch onto whatever suits you.
