| A lot of these shows have attracted some very eminent names in recent seasons. Dominique Morrisseau did the book for Ain't Too Proud. Lynn Nottage is writing MJ, the Michael Jackson musical. Katori Hall cowrote Tina. Colman Domingo had a had in Summer: The Donna Summer Musical. I think these serious playwrights consider these jobs as works made for hire; it's enough to do a slick, professional job and if the show is a hit, they can sit back and enjoy the royalties. The money could finance the writing of many, many plays for Signature Theatre, Playwrights Horizons, et al. | |

| Maybe Ken did a focus group like he did before he changed the good name “Garage Band” to the blah “Getting the Band Back Together” I'd vote for HOT AUGUST NIGHT or I AM I SAID |

| It seems split on using a song vs generic title like summer, Tina or the cher show Ain’t to proud, beautiful and margaritaville are song titled ones. Britney Spears is her song name but not a biographical musical. MJ wisely changed to his name instead of don’t stop until you get enough. | |

| Some creative person could probably shoe horn many of Neil Diamond's hits into a book musical about a travelling salvation show with a sexy charismatic Brother Love. Sort of a Neil Diamond "Leap of Faith," but better because it's, hey now, Neil Diamond! Holly holy! | |

| I agree 100%. I love "I Am I Said" as a title for it. And just typing that reminds me of my all-time favorite rendition of that song, and sorry but it is not the songwriter. See below. |

| Your post inspired me to visualize Neil Diamond as Morris Ritz singing "Think Big Rich". Probably wouldn't work. Maybe "Walk Into Heaven". | |
