I'm certainly intrigued to see what ALW can come up with, and who he chooses to work with (book & lyrics).
I think the fact that it is a sequel to the most financially successful musical of all time, does add a little pressure.
However, like ANY new musical, if there is a great book & songs, then it'll be great, if anything less, it probably won't last long, and that's for ALW to worry about.
A lot of people are getting their 'knickers in a twist' over this with 'how could he' comments (as if they've got a ton of money invested in it - LOL).
I say give the guy a chance, and keep an open mind.
Still wonder what Jim thinks of this??
