Re: New Musical - Houdini It makes perfect sense--it just seems so sudden. Usually, when I big show by a really noteable composer is headed to Broadway with a big star, we hear about every step of the way. Ya know what I mean?

Re: New Musical - Houdini The show has been listed on Playbill.com's upcoming shows since a while. Hugh Jackman was always mentionned to play the lead, and it's great that it will actually happen!
I hope for a less-pop score than Wicked, but it's still Stephen Schwartz.

Re: New Musical - Houdini Oh, weird. This is literally the first time I've even heard of it. I'm excited though. Schwartz always has at least one classic Broadway-sounding song in each of his shows (like "Wonderful" or "All for the Best") so maybe this whole show will have that kinda feel?

Re: New Musical - Houdini I feel like I'd heard about this happening before, but it was probably just news of the opera that Schwartz wrote, now that I think about it. This news is coming a bit out of left field, but I think it could be really good, especially with Jackman.

Re: New Musical - Houdini The opera was a different project. It is called "Séance on a Wet Afternoon". The premier was held in my town and my daughter was able to attend with her school choir.
