I'm back! (My essay is driving me insane!)
About BARE going to Broadway: what do you all think? I would love to see it performed to the larger masses, but so much of the show depends on its intimacy. I don't think even the smallest Broadway house could preserve it (well, maybe Circle in the Square.) I wouldn't mind if it just enjoyed a successful, open-ended run off-Broadway. Many of the best musicals never went to Broadway: Hedwig, the Fantastiks, etc.
If BARE does intend to play on Broadway, though, it'll need substantial rewriting to emphasize the larger, rockier numbers in the show, rather than the quieter, more character-based moments (though I like those more!).

HEDWIG: "The road is my home. In reflecting upon the people whom I have come upon in my travels, I cannot help but think of the people who have come upon me."
