Kelli O'Hara will star in Jason Robert Brown's Bridges of Madison County musical at Williamstown Theatre Festival... I'm so happy to see new work from him, despite my personal opinions about him. I'm also glad, as always, to see her doing interesting, unique new work.Kelli O'Hara in JRB's Bridges of Madison County musical at WTF...

Calls for a trip to the Berkshires!
For those who haven't been: can't recommend this festival enough! Williamstown is absolutely charming.

I heard a few of the songs at his concert and they were pretty good. I think the best song in the show is for the girl who plays the main guy's ex wife.

He's also the same Jason Robert Brown that wrote the brilliant "Parade," "Last 5 Years," and "Songs For A New World." So, why wouldn't she go into this?

Cause there are only few selected numbers in each of those shows that are any good...?

I guess the timing of this confuses me. Kelli is doing FAR FROM HEAVEN and last I heard, a broadway transfer isn't out of the question for it. Why would she leave that show to start another new one?

I'm with Owen and jimmycurry - Brown's main focus is self-promotion, which is good because his lyrics are bland and pointless and his music is bland and repetitive.

Kelli also has that LCT revival of The King and I that keeps getting backed up because of her schedule.

I would totally agree with that if it weren't the opposite of the truth.

I'm going to totally agree with Mister Matt and raise him one "I also liked the score for 13".

Yeah, I agree with Mister Matt also. Songs, L5Y and Parade are all pretty great straight through.
Even 13 wasn't terrible, though certainly the weakest of the four.

How can anyone call PARADE, SONGS, and L5Y bland and repetitive?
Those three shows are truly inspired.

Elena Shaddow is now taking the role over, at least for WTF, while Kelli takes time off for the baby. Do you think if there is a possible transfer that it would still star Kelli, or would Elena finally have her shot at originating a broadway role?

It's hard to say, considering Kelli is attached to Far From Heaven (which undoubtedly has its eye on Broadway) and allegedly to a future revival of The King and I.
