| And unless the staging and design vision change massively, this will not only be a cheaper production than Hal Prince's (which I generally loved and think is unfairly maligned/misremembered), but it will probably be cheaper, as a production, than most of his other 7 productions, except perhaps Bridges. But I'm just guessing, I have no idea what any of those productions actually cost or how much this Parade will. But the design and staging was pretty scaled down and simple, and not because it was a concert only, i think, it seemed to be inherent to Arden's vision of the show. I actually quite hope he develops it further, it felt undercooked to me. But I highly doubt it will bloom too much further, I also doubt any producer is under the impression that Parade is some slam dunk at the box office. It wouldn't be transferring without a star name as the lead. I don't know that he has the kind of box office power Lea Michelle has, but I'm not sure who else could do it who would be right for the role, be able to sing it, and be a box office draw. |
