Can't say how relieved I am!
As far as a Hunchback Musical, there was actually one that ran for awhile in Germany, but it never made it to the US. I'll be interested to see what they'll come up with next.
Any of you heard the rumors of a Nightmare Before Christmas musical? The rumor is ancient (back to Eisner) but I'm all for it. The puppetry would be nothing short of astounding. I'd love to see it on stage!
