21 I recently heard a rumor that a G&MM musical is in the works. Is this true? (The Ghost and Mrs. Muir)
Yes. Bill Francoeur has been working on writing words and lyrics to a
new G&MM musical, which may actually be produced in the Fall of 1998
in Philadelphia. It's also possible that this production will be done
on Broadway! The project has been in the works for about nine years,
and had previously been produced in California, with a kind of
musical, light comedy slant. The people currently working on it feel
that they should go back to the love story, as that's what makes the
story work, so seven of the songs written for the first production
have been kept and the rest discarded.
Producers Hal Grossman and Joel Murray are expected to meet the week
of 8/11/97 with Jack Shoupe, Director of the Pacific Conservatory of
Performing Arts (PCPA) to discuss a future workshop performance. Jack
directed G&MM in another incarnation back in 1987 and has a great deal
of interest in the current project. On an exciting note, Walnut Street
Theatre in Philadelphia has expressed a great deal of interest in
producing the show in the fall of '98! More details will be
forthcoming as they are revealed!
