Slog - Comments on The Light in the Pagoda http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/light_in_the_pagoda And this (in this morning's NYT) is just awesome: Enter the director. Bartlett Sher, currently being feted for his work on “South Pacific,” has agreed to direct the previously announced new musical by David Henry Hwang and David Yazbeck, “Bruce Lee: Journey to the West.” The show, which follows Lee’s path to martial arts superstardom (and involves Chinese mythological figures like the Monkey King along the way), is aiming for a place in the 2010-11 Broadway season....
