| No. They are clearly taking the bones of the original musical’s story and reworking it to have resonance and entertainment value for 2023. Not so different from the multiple versions of A Star Is Born. I think some people are more used to the idea of remakes and reinterpretations in the realm of film and TV than they are in musical theater, while others happily embrace continuing to tell new stories with old shows, especially shows that have mostly faded from the public consciousness. This version of the play is one that sounds interesting to watch, because it complicates the characters’ stories in ways that could really pay off. We’ll see. |
