OC Chronicle was launched on March 2, 2005. On March 6 we were linked by Hugh Hewitt for our idea of a touring musical featuring the cast of regulars on his radio program. It ended up getting a lot of responses and got our traffic going immediately. The idea was based on Hugh's throw-away line on his program about how they should all begin a National Tour of a musical. Due to our background in the theatre industry, it seemed a natural:
HUGH!, the musical.
Hugh Hewitt (center) mentioned on his show yesterday that he and his team should begin a National Tour of a Broadway musical. Now, given my professional background, I took this as a personal challenge. I will find the right vehicle and assemble a first class touring production booked entirely in
Red State Venues. I'm going to need some help, though. I'm not sure what show would work best. One sees this picture and is tempted to go for the easy laugh with
La Cage aux Folles, but I'm afraid French titles won't appeal to our target audience. Please
e-mail me (and Hugh) your Broadway Musical suggestions along with the cast list.
