What I do not understand about projects like this (the Encores! THE LIFE was another) was that the creative team clearly has a very specific story that they want to tell here that is not PAL JOEY and has nothing at all to do with PAL JOEY, so why have they not just written their own show? I mean...it kind of seems like they actually HAVE written their own show, but aren't confident in their work or their vision and so are hiding behind Rodgers and Hart and the PAL JOEY title.

Clearly there's a lot of talent behind this production and new score would only serve the story they want to tell, certainly better than a bunch of random Rodgers and Hart songs that were originally written to tell other stories.
