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.

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.

I watched it. Here is an excerpt if anyone wants to judge for themselves.

It sounds good :-)
