” wrapped up its initial run in San Diego Sunday night. Instead, they came up to Los Angeles to appear as keynote speakers at‘s Music for Screens Summit, where the collaborators discussed Crowe’s original 2000 movie and took a victory lap on the just-completed production down the coast, the praise for which unmistakably made it a contender for whatever Broadway season it can next be squeezed into.
“I’d be excited for ‘Almost Famous’ this year and terrified of ‘Almost Famous’ this year,” Kitt confessed. “But I just always feel so lucky to get to work on the things I’m working on, especially because it’s not just about me, it’s about this group of people that are making this. So it’s never right for everyone’s schedule, but if someone says you get to move forward, then you move forward.
Of the movie, he said, “‘Almost Famous’ was that story you kind of have in your back pocket that if you ever get the chance to tell that story, you go for it and just do it as quickly as you can, before they figure out that you’re doing something that’s potentially very uncommercial.
“My nieces are musical theater fanatics,” Crowe said. “And I had that growing up, because we loved Sondheim, but it’s of course a different era of musical theater. Now I’m seeing this thing in my own family of true fandom, where the love of musical theater is very similar to the love of music in 1973, where it’s something you can really possess. And they’re aware of all the nuances of every show.
“People laughed at the time about having a scene in a movie where a hard-edged band would actually be singing along together. But I saw that so many times as a journalist, where the love of music would take over a situation and people would just break out into song. So it’s really odd and kind of great that that scene has lived on. Because it was just two sentences in the script, but when we got there and started filming it, it just felt so real.
