MILLY! - A NEW MUSICALMILLY! is a new musical about the life of American President Millard Filmore and his wife Abigail. I had the pleasure of interviewing its creator Allan Provost by email and you can read all about it at http://www.jorgeplace.com/MusicalChronicles/MusicalChronicles.htm |

Everyone's going to confuse that with "Thoroughly Modern Millie." A school nearby just did it, and everyone just calls it "Millie". MT shall be confusing. | ||

It's the same situation as Phantom and Phantom of the Opera [The former is much better] |

I think what will kill it is lack of interest from the public. The topic won't interest theatergoers and the poster
looks old and tired. Brings up another element for a successful musical, the topic. Les Miz sold itself to the public. Milly! sounds like someone calling their dog. |

Yeah... and I wouldn't have called it Milly! anyway. it sounds old and a bit cheesy to me. too much like Oliver! or something. I would have given it a snappier name... and a snappier poster. |

Millard Fillmore! Ok I love history but I gotta say whoever thought of the idea about a musical about him has WAY too much time on their hands. Bad title too. There are so many interesting presidents...Jackson, Johnson, Pierce, McKinley, T. Roosevelt, Monroe...why Fillmore?!?! | ||

Amen to that. I'd like to see a musical about T. Roosevelt, as long as it's not called Teddy!

Yeah, some theatre-goers probably don't know who Millard Fillmore is. I'd like to see a musical on John Adams. I know 1776 does a lot to that effect but there should be an entire musical with just John and Abigail and their letters. I'd also like to see a musical about JFK. |
