As long as they're not done by the Tiger Lillies I'm all for them. It's not like every neighborhood theater wouldn't have had variant soundtracks based on the instrument[s] available, the quality and quantity of musicians, and their slavishness to the music cue sheets, if there even were any.
That said, these folks have a steep road ahead of them to beat the Voices of Light score for Joan.

I've enjoyed a couple of the Berklee scores I've heard, most particularly for THE LAST LAUGH. As for new scores, well, it's all in the ear of the beholder.
