Pssst...

I hear that indie smash hit ONCE is coming to Broadway...

I have no idea what that is...

...but...why?

It's a wonderful movie that would be completely pointless on stage. (Not to mention that it would sort of collapse under itself.)

Jaime, wait, really? Once, the independent film? Please drop whatever you're doing at watch it:

Touche, Gruyere. The only thing worse than big studio movies like Legally Blonde turned into big Brodaway musicals is thoughful, fascinating and small little indie films turned into big Broadway musicals.

I would, however, be interested to see what Twyla Tharp would do with ONCE if she kept it simple like she did with Movin' Out.

I would rather see Twyla Tharp do something new, with a new score. How about Jeff Tweedy?

(Or, failing that, she can stage SMiLE. Maybe.)
