Bad play and a cast that won’t sell (and isn’t this guy like secondary in Heated Rivalry?)Whomever said you need an unimpeachable star is correct: there were several high profile plays with more legit stars than this that won’t recoup this season alone.
I wouldn’t go so far to say that Paulson will bring in the crowds. While her last show did gangbusters business towards the mid and end of its runs, you could generally walk right in for cheap prior. I think all of her previous shows closed early. That said, I think the pairing of the two, especially considering the number of talk shows that would die to book this duo for press, will make this a hot ticket early on.

I grabbed one right away."I wouldn’t recommend this show to ANYONE, but to sit in the parterre section at the Met is an experience for a lifetime. Even for a mediocre performance.
I really disliked the first iteration - even with Sting joining the cast at the end of the run - but credit where credit is due: the man is certainly doing his best to make this show happen.
