Andrew Cunanan the musical?

From Philippine Inquirer: "Most Wanted," a musical loosely based on Filipino-American serial killer Andrew Cunanan, just ended its two-week workshop run at the La Jolla Playhouse in California. He gained notoriety when he murdered fashion designer Gianni Versace. The book was written by Jessica Hagedorn of "Dogeaters" fame,music by Mark Bennett and lyrics by both. It was directed by Michael Greif (original director of "Rent"), who also helmed "Dogeaters" when we saw it at the Joseph Papp Public Theatre here in New York. There are no reviews since it was a workshop production but you can read Gary Warth’s piece on the play in Time magazine. Here's another article from the Los Angeles Times.

I saw it. I didn't expect to like it. I loved it. I hope it goes beyond the workshop phase.
