In her favor, she has also been associated with some hits, including On Your Feet, Pippin (2013), How To Succeed (2011), and Memphis."
She is, so far as I know, a producer for hire/executive producer type. She ran Broadway Across America until couple years ago and now seems to be doing the leg work for the creamer people who seem to have the absolute worst eye for what's good in history.

"See the people I know that are working on said everyone is much more positive about working hard to continue to spread the message of the show. I bet it lasts through summer and maybe even till Christmas.

The company got "the talk" right after the Tony noms. "The talk" is when the producers tell the company how hard they are working to promote the show, and to keep their chins up - and it almost inevitably means the show will close within a month. I doubt Tuck will see June. You're working on a show that gets "the talk", you start looking for another job.

Well, the people I know are all saying that the cast is depressed and eating too much and gaining weight.
I guess we all know different people...
