Since people seem fascinated by this story (mostly, it seems, due to the enduring popularity of the film AUNTIE MAME), I wonder if it might be possible for new writers to take a look at this property and go back to the novel, the play, and the screenplay and create a whole new show based on them? I mean, this is basically what was done with SOME LIKE IT HOT, right? There'd be rights issues to sort out, of course, and I'm sure some would miss the classic Jerry Herman score, but why not give it a go? |
