Did the show really lose its investment? It really was a small production for a musical (no big scenery, small cast, etc).
I enjoyed the show very much, but it did show up on TKTS regularly.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 7/12/05 at 4:15pmI love, love, love this show! (Who else thinks that Stephen Schwartz stole "One Short Day" for WICKED from ONCE ON THIS ISLAND's "One Small Girl"?) Unfortunately it did not run for very long and was up against some stiff competition not to mention 2 other shows that featured a black cast. However, the 2002 production is not a revival. It was a one night benefit concert with original cast members and Lilias White.
"For me, THEATRE is an anticipation, an artistic rush, an emotional banquet, a jubilant appreciation, and an exit hopeful of clearer thought and better worlds."
