This new author sees problems where there aren't any. Never good. Reminds me of Hwang's lame attempt to improve on Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song. Better to be like Barrlett Sher who took the original book of South Pacific and made tweaks with the utmost respect for Hammerstein's original book and the show was a smash. The film Gigi won an Oscar for best adapted screenplay. It still holds up beautifully. Better to find a writer or director that will respect the film script and adapt it to the stage without losing what makes the film a classic. Chevalier singing Thank Heaven for Little Girls is definitely one of the things that makes the film great.
