Hopefully this is a lesson: don't fundsuch garbage." You can't have it both ways: apologizing on one hand and then expressing satisfaction that Margaritaville is doing so poorly. While I'm not really familiar with this particular musical, all shows try their best and hope that people show up at their theatre. Their aim is to try...and keep on trying until they cannot hold out anymore. The show itself is not garbage....only your blowhard satisfaction to wish the demise of a show (conveniently ignoring the fact that many people depend on it). Any theatrical investment is a risk. I hope Margaritaville eventually finds an audience. But, if it doesn't, you had absolutely zero to do with that.

I hate to correct you dear . But the show is garbage designed to take advantage of white trash tourists.

Then what's the disconnect? There are certainly enough of those wandering around Times Square not knowing what to do with themselves..."

Good question.

Amazing Grace.

I'd be amazed if he doesn't take the stage at some point before it closes.

I predict a run for Band's Visit similar to Fun Home. It's a tiny show that maybe won't appeal to everyone, but it will win a ton of major Tonys including leading actress, score, direction, and the most important best musical. At which point, it will run for another solid year and a half or two, letting everyone in New York and outside of it that wants to see it see it. And yes, to echo others' sentiments, grosses will pick up gainfully after nominations and then more so after the awards themselves.
