Girls, It Is Time To Talk About What Could Be Julie Taymor's Next Successful Project!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girls, let me tell you, you have got to feel sorry for Julie Taymor. Here she was, one of the theater's most premiere artistes, whose successes got her a commercial gig with "The Lion King," still running healthily on Broadway!!!!! Its success led to her landing an ever bigger gig, "Spider Man-Turn Off The Dark," which should have been an even bigger triumph. But alas, a Perfect Storm situation created an endless cycle of problems, one of them being Jules herself, that resulted in her removal from the project. I understand the producers still want to try and resurrect this dead horse, but that is no longer my problem, or Julie Taymor's.

But there is a project I have been thinking about for a long time, way before Julie's departure, that I think would be perfect for her.

A Broadway musicalization of the 1961 Japanese movie monster classic,"Mothra!!!!!!"

Hon, this has everything--puppet moth monsters, a spectacular egg hatching, recreated Infant Island foilage, the destruction of Tokyo, all of which Julie could pull off perfectly. You get Boubil and Schoenberg, who have already covered Asian terrain with "Miss Saigon," to write the score, and hire B.D. Wong to work on the book. Best of all, you have computer generated double images of shrunken Lea Salonga as the Two Tiny Island Girls. When they do the "Mothra Song" airborne, in their Cinderlla carriage, it will simply stop the show.

Before going on, though, I just want to say, I want the pivotal role of the Worshipping Island Native Man, who calls forth Mothra, who hatches from its egg. This could be MY big moment, and if a song is written for it, a real show stopper.

But imagine the Act One curtain going up, on the reconstructed Infant Island, with everything happening there. Then you end Act One with the girls' being kidnapped and hauled back to the Tokyo mainland. Act Two opens in the nightclub, with the Carriage Number, and pretty soon Mothra comes to wreak havoc, retrieve her girls, and fly back to the Island, for a tropical finale, capped by all of them flying over the heads of the audience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It cannot miss, girls!!!!!!!!!!! It would be a TONY winner, and it would simply restore Julie's cred. It could fully utilize Julie's gifts for masks, puppetry and more primitive theatrical forms.

I remember seeing a trailer for the film on TV where it was billed as "MOTHRA--The Monster God!!!!!!" Yet in the film Mothra is referred to as a "she." Mothra is female, a departure from most of the other Japanese monsters--though one of the Rodans had to be, unless they were gay or lesbian!!!!!!!!!! But, of course, with Julie at the helm, there would be no question that Mothra would be female!!!!!! And this is what people would flock to, not ersatz Marvel Comics dreck!
Marvel Comics is not dreck, darlings!!!!!!!! It's what Julie and Company did to it.

But I think she has learned her lesson, so she would honor Mothra to the hilt!!!!!!!! Get it into the Winter Garden, pronto!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see things whirling in the air!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and darlings, the choreographer has JUST GOT to be Baayork Lee!

Ah sok ooh rah!
Humba! Humba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
