Profile for Someone, Somewhere

RippedMan,

There was indeed. It was titled "The Heart of Robin Hood" and never made it onto Broadway due to absurdly low ticket sales. It did very well in Toronto, where it had its try-out, but never made the leap although the producers initially "postponed" the engagement. It received mixed-to-positive reviews, but didn't have the appeal for a five month limited run apparently. 

It starred Gabriel Ebert fresh off his Tony win and I was very excited to see him, as well as the show, back onstage. I've attached a highlight reel. It looks like it could have been a simple, cute night at the theatre. 

The Heart of Robin Hood

It seems to me that this is great publicity for the show.

While it may not be selling out, there seems to be an audience for it as reflected in the grosses. As I said before, people are still discussing this topic on Facebook and spreading the word of the show. There certainly was a boost following opening night (when these articles began to surface). 

These past few weeks I've seen the attached article all over my Facebook wall and am curious as to how much of it is true, or how much of it is exaggerated. 

I have tickets to see the show from the front Dress Circle next week and have been excited for this production since tickets first went on sale. I'm not one to be squeamish and know what's ahead, so I'm sure I'll be fine when the time comes. But... I'm curious how those who are unprepared, or those who are squeamish, really respond.

Were there any interesting responses from the audience when you attended 1984?
