It's a sad occurrence to see a leading non-profit theater cancel the American premiere of a new musical due to budget concerns and replace it with yet another one-man show. Not that HERRINGBONE, which will star BD Wong, will necessarily be bad. And not that TAKE FLIGHT, the new Maltby & Shire musical, would necessarily be good, though it has already received an excellent recording on PS Classics.
Might one of our Off-Broadway theater companies pick up the slack and produce TAKE FLIGHT? I think it would fit in well with say the Playwrights Horizons or MTC schedule.
