While musicals about murders are no longer novelties - Chicago, Sweeny Todd and Assassins come to mind - they are usually generations removed from their audiences. Most Wanted is not only a contemporary story, but it is being produced in the very city Cunanan called home. "There was some concern about whether we should do it," Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley told an audience in a post-performance question...

You don't know where it comes from, if it's from Sicily or Apulia or Magna Grecia," he said. "They are doomed to be anonymous." With that in mind, Rutelli also plays good cop in the negotiations. "To the museum that returns stolen works, we loan for several years works that are equally important and valuable. Therefore, those spaces don't go empty," he said.
