Considering the success of "Mamma Mia" (which, I think, Richard Carpenter saw in L.A. and enjoyed) as well as shows running in New York about the Mamas and the Papas, Rosemary Clooney, and others, I think that a theatre production featuring the Carpenters music is in order. (I believe there have been shows in London, and perhaps one in San Francisco if I remember correctly, so I know I'm not the only one thinking along these lines). Their life story and their music couldn't be better-suited for the stage. An acquaintance of mine has been seriously considering writing and producing such a play, but it would be a small-scale, off-Broadway deal. Does anyone know if Richard has ever considered getting behind something like this?
