Think What This Could Mean For 'Merrily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

                                         Three days more remain till I evaluate the Fiasco's handling of "Merrily We Roll Along."  But I want to show you a piece of film I found that has the right idea.  This is a group from the Australian company of "Sondheim On Sondheim."  They are performing "Opening Doors," from 'Merrily', and give an idea of how brilliantly not only this number, but the show itself, might transfer to film.

                                          Interesting to note the whole thing is shot in black and white.  Which begs the question--is that because of the time period?  Would the film start out in color, and then fade into black-and-white, with time?  It is certainly an arresting idea, and could work.

                                             And look at how the number ends.  Almost like a replica of the original poster!

                                            I love it!  And future toilers with 'Merrily'--and there will be others--take note.  This could actually work!

                                             Get ready, Fiasco!  I have my eyes on you!
