*A quick look at recent Broadway trends might suggest that there are either more and more quirky, eccentric geniuses writing these scores and books for the new musicals, or they really are running out of ideas. But - I suppose you can't argue with great reviews and houses for such shows as ......

Which suggests to me that Broadway audiences would pay money to go to the opening of a wound. And surely there's a few films left that haven't been given the make over treatment yet.... "Traffic: the musical"? "Back Draft: the musical"? "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: the musical- now with real crouching tiger and a dragon we seem to have mislaid...."

As far as the topic of the New Musical goes, the field is quite broad. What audience are we suppoedsly pitching at? USA, Australia, UK? Young, old, infirm?

Can we have some parameters please??? :-)
