If it turns out to be terrific, that's great. But it will not be Pal Joey and should not be titled as such.
There have been numerous examples of estates doing terrible things with creators' works, and people have spoken out against them. Stephen Sondheim took the major step of writing an editorial in the NY Times to protest what was being done to Porgy and Bess in Boston - they actually wrote a new happy ending, which they later dropped due to protests.
We should all push estates to respect the trust they have been given. If they want to replace a book, fine - just change the title, too, as was done with Crazy For You. |
