| I'd be happy to see a season of Love Life, I Can Get It for You Wholesale, and an old operetta, perhaps The Vagabond King or a Victor Herbert, perhaps Sweethearts, Naughty Marietta or The Only Girl (the last of those is really more of a musical play than an operetta). They had a nice success years ago now with The New Moon, but they've never done another of the old operettas. May Wine would also be interesting to see from the older operettas because it sounds so strange, even though it was only a moderate success at the time and then it more or less disappeared. Not sure that materials in good shape exist. Of course, there are still a good many shows that are worth doing that they haven't yet done. There are others that folks mention regularly that I don't think they're ever going to do. A few of the shows included in Hey, Look Me Over! would be possibilities — either of the Hermans or Sail Away. I think that the others do not merit full Encores! productions, even though there are quality numbers in the scores. Other shows that I would have to think have been considered and that would be very welcome include Jubilee, The Cat and the Fiddle, Street Scene (although perhaps it's felt to be too demanding in the time they have for rehearsal), and The Rothschilds. There are plenty of others that I hope are on their list. |
