Girls, If "Black Narcissus" Has To Be Remade, Why Not As A Broadway Musical, Or Opera????????????????????????


                                      Let's face it,  hons,  with  Kathleen Byron's brilliant descent into sexual depravity from  a repressed nun, the casting of Deborah  Kerr,  Jean Simmons, and Sabu. and  the production values put out by Michael Powell and  Emeric Pressburger, 1947's "Black Narcissus" is not only hard to top,  but in  less professional hands would have degenerated into camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                       So, why a 2020 miniseries remake?  With Diana Rigg?  And with some nobody named Aisling  Franciosi, in  the coveted role of Sister Ruth, the holy nymphomaniac everyone wants to play, including myself, there is no  point--unless turned  into a Broadway musical or opera.  A show stopping aria for Sister Ruth's conversion from divinity to depravity would be a coveted role  that I would love to play, and any actor cast would certainly earn  a TONY Award for their work.   Kathleen Byron,  from the 1947 original, received an Oscar nomination.  I mean, there was nothing like this before.


                                        And  it follows in  the musical tradition  of "Soeur Angelica" and "Dialogue Of The Carmelites," with over the top musical religiosity.  And recreating Sister Ruth's fall  on stage would be creative fun.  I mean, if "Tosca" can do it,  why not Sister Ruth????????????


                                           This miniseries  will not make  it.  But a musical or opera would.


                                            Think about it, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                         

                                             I have GOT to be seen for the musicalized  role of Sister Ruth!


                                            I just love that crazy bitch!  Especially when she goes over the cliff!


                                            Thhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeere Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhe   Gooooooooooooooooessssssssssss!


                                             Someone should have told her nuns were not destined to fly,  until Sally Field!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
