What the fuck!?!??! An Elvis musical? This is the last thing that Broadway needs. I am so upset that Broadway has devolved from land of wonderful, amazing theatre and music into a cheesy world of tourists and bottom lines.
There are great song writers out there, but they're not producing their work on the scale it needs to be to develop them into the song-writers they are, and the Broadway musical as we know it is really dying. If not dead.
Millie was written by committee. "The Boy from Oz" is a tired rehash of nothing new, led by a movie star. "Caroline, or Change" isn't going to last because it's not entertaining the way that Broadway of old was.
It's a shame that it's gotten too expensive to produce a show.
Argh, I'm just upset abou this and I can't even write coherently... but hopefully you have at least a clue what I mean...
