| Your lengthy critism is mostly based on the story and songs which havent changed and not really what is different about this revival and the original--the unique staging that i found brought the story closer to the audience emotionally. There are plenty of shows i didnt like the first time and i wouldnt bother to see a revival. If one didn't csre for the orignial, this production won't change that opinion. | |

| I see everything. I disliked the original production of COLOR PURPLE. I thought it was the show. I loved the John Doyle revival. Turned out the production was the problem (for me) not the show. Same with LEGALLY BLONDE which I disliked on Broadway, loved in the West End. I was also curious re Michael Arden's work - I was not a fan of his SPRING AWAKENING, nor was I a fan of his work on ONCE ON THIS ISLAND. Its important to see everyone's work, and be open to have one's opinion change overnight. As mine often does. |

| "I was also curious re Michael Arden's work - I was not a fan of his SPRING AWAKENING," Actually, I was not a fan of the original Spring Awakening, but I loved Arden's version. |

| Forbidden Planet did a pretty good job of reimagining its source material as a space odyssey. ;) Scrappy immigrants breaking away from Earth and terraforming a new planet... it could work. |

| A recent Paris Opera production of La Boheme was literally set on the moon, space suits and all. Looked downright ugly to me. | |
