The happiest story of the past few months for me has been the success of What the Constitution Means to Me. It felt like a really risky bet to move it to Broadway even with (or maybe especially after) two successful off-Broadway runs. I'll be so interested to hear if it does indeed end up touring without Schreck, but I also hope that the show is recorded for release. Feels like it would make a pretty spectacular Netflix special in my opinion.

It was the safest bet in the world."

It was not. It's obvious to you that anything you dislike and anything with liberal values will "obviously" be praised and "obviously" be successful. We get it. You hate it. It's yet another property to drag through your cynicism and misanthropy. But it was never a safe bet. A largely one woman show finding the potential for hope in our current political climate with zero stars? Heck, just a couple blocks up, we had a gender non-binary playwright whose hugely liberal play Gary was also wildly praised AND had stars, but that didn't succeed. And I haven't looked to find your opinion on it, but one can only imagine you hated that as well. So if it's not just politics and it's not just star-power, then what is it? I look forward to your reductive, thoughtless, cynical response.

Agreed. Since it's World Pride week in NYC, hopefully the Prom will have better grosses this week!

Grosses are finally rising. Hello, Summer!

I can't believe how much Frankie and Johhny is struggling.

I realise it's nothing to be concerned about yet (lol) but interesting Oklahoma had a few spare seats this week.

I don't know why I'm letting this person get to me, but let's go for another example: Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet. Critics couldn't stop falling all over themselves praising it. Two hugely successful runs off-Broadway. By your estimation, "a sure thing." Guaranteed success. Closed at a massive loss. Didn't win any Tony's. Also, I assume, hated by you. So what's the difference? Calling things sure things AFTER they've succeeded isn't an art. If you actually had the stuff to make calls on what would be successful before they arrived, you surely missed your lucrative calling as a producer.

Of course that grump is for real. He actually believes what he is saying.

My apologies.

Trust me, tourists are not going to see The Cher Show for SJB. Tony-winning aside.

Also, thrilled for a solid week for the Prom! Hoping they can have a nice summer before closing, I love that show so much.
