The night I attended was an evening attended by industry professionals. I overheard many talking shop at intermission about the touring potential, what they envisioned would be needed (or more appropriately not needed), etc
Even on a Friday night a few weeks back the theater was hardly half full. We all know that is not a good sign for a Friday night.
Possibly a more intimate space would be more appropriate for this production. Since it is a one woman show I think close to the performer would strike a greater connection. Too bad the Helen Hayes Theater wasn't available for this.
The show is also limited in appeal to an older generation. I'm 40 and was on the cusp of remembering who she was couples with the fact that she was from Texas so not so visible as a local politician.
I think it could have life on the road but in carefully selected locations for short runs.
