But if Bob Fosse were still alive and in the mental and physical condition to revive his own production of Chicago, which was left criminally in the shadows compared to A Chorus Line that season... and knowing he'd already done this rather successfully with Sweet Charity ... wouldn't you have wanted that instead of someone else doing it in his style? I'd rather see Bob directing with Ann and Gwen executing and tweaking the choreography than Walter Bobbie.
My point being... Tommy Tune is still here and could remount his spectacular Grand Hotel. He could have remounted his spectacular Nine too... though I did generally love the revival we got without him.
I dunno... I'd love to seeing Tune's production of Grand Hotel or even a really good "inspired by".... but I'd also be curious to see it with entirely fresh eyes. Though if it were being directed and/or choreographed by someone with less style and skill, I don't know if it would be worth doing. I'm not sure that as a musical it's good enough or strong enough to stand up to a lesser staging. Nine is a much stronger musical. |
