For anyone who has seen the show, what is it lacking that has turned so many people away? Is it the book? Score?

Sweeping generalizations really do not add a lot to an argument when they are not needed.

We can all probably share anecdotal experiences from our own lives that would make the case for rudeness being prevalent in any age cohort we select. "

Not all old people are brats, but all the people I've seen complaini

It's very disappointing but if you're seeing a live performance you should be prepared to expect an understudy. Things happen. Also, there's no need to carry on and disrespect the rest of the production, cast, crew, and staff.
