New musical about Picasso - didn't he get cancelled already for his dubious relationships with women? Could be a recipe for disaster... www.surinenglish.com/malaga/malaga-city/antonio-banderas-picasso-musical-20220906093716-nt.htmlThe actor and director will star in the show, which is being created in conjunction with the Trafalgar Theatre in London and will be performed on Broadway, in the British capital and in his own theatre, the Soho Caixabank, in Malaga Banderas will star in the show, working alongside American playwright and theatre director Gordon Greenberg and composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, who has also written the music and songs for Godspell.

Well I'd pay to see Mr Banderas on stage even if the musical was rubbish.

It’s so ridiculous to say this will play Spain, London and Broadway. It might be terrible and won’t at all.

Picasso is such an interesting person - I'd love to see a musical about him, especially one that doesn't sugar-coat him, but treats the subject intelligently.
I also think Stephen Schwartz is the perfect composer/lyricist for this - he has a knack of finding a left-field approach to writing character-driven songs. But I'm not counting my chickens, as his last few projects haven't really come to anything as have disappeared without trace.
