So whats Menken up to, you ask?

Bless my soul, hes on a roll.
Hes working on an unnamed Broadway show, and hes working on the music for anEnchantedsequel,Disenchanted.
HE SAID HES WORKING ON AN EXTENDED STAGE RUN OFHERCULES.
The very same one that we did in Central Park last summer.
Herculesat the Delacorte Theater in Central Park was the hottest ticket in town in August 2019.
As with all Public Works show, the tickets were free.
I was sad so few people got to see the clunky joy that wasHerculesonstage.
At that point,the shows team said there were no plans for a larger run.
Which sounded, well, like b.s.
Which, thankfully, appears to have been the case.
(Menken was light on any other details.)
I absolutely cannot handle this news.
