This will be the 2nd attempt in the last few years to "fix" a Lerner musical...they didn't learn from the mess they made with On A Clear Day?

Perhaps they should either make Gigi into a boy (but then they'd have to change the title) or Gaston into a woman. I'd be interested in seeing the lesbian version of Gigi. It would probably be more interesting than what it sounds like they're going to do.

They should keep the song in. After the old guy, or now Mamacita sings, "Thank heaven for them all, no matter where, no matter who. Without them, what would little boys do?" someone should sing, "They would have sex with one another. Not that there's anything wrong with that." In this way, the whole message of the song would be updated. And Vanessa Hudgens as the successor to Audrey Hepburn in the title role (stage version)...kind of absurd!

I have to admit that I know next to nothing about Vanessa Hudgens. All I really know is that she will be playing Gigi, and that people here who saw her as Mimi in that Rent concert thought her performance was inept and laughable.
