Will Prada even make Broadway at all? I'd have thought that was a long way off given the state it was in, in Chicago.
I've got tickets to various performances of Tammy Faye, including first preview. I'm intrigued. In a recent interview Rupert Goold said
"The world of televangelism, in particular the Bakkers’ show, was “a theatrical world” which lent itself to a musical comedy, he added. But there was a serious side, too."
Musical comedy? oh.
It's only really Tammy Faye herself I can imagine singing, and I hope she gets a fabulous gospel style 11 o'clock number. With Andrew Rannells as Jim Bakker, I assume her will get moments to use that big voice of his.
Elton has had flops with Lestat and Prada (in it's current state) and Jake Shears' work on Tales of the City was not good, thankfully James Graham is an excellent writer so hopefully this will translate in his first musical.
Looking forward to it! |
