Why would "Beautiful" be having nearly 2 MONTHS of previews??? That's a bit munch isn't it?

Honestly? I think more shows should have longer preview periods. The recent Cinderella revival comes to mind, but there are many others, that realized they had major flaws that weren't working and didn't have adequate time or motive to fix them. So, good for them for recognizing in advance that they want to put in the effort to get the show into it's best shape by opening.

Also, their preview period is just a smidge over 7 weeks. That's only a week or two longer than the standard 5-6 week preview. It's not like it's Spiderman.

Standard is actually about 4. But I certainly understand your logic. And I agree perhaps longer preview periods could be beneficial to shows.
