^I think they do. If they didnt they would not be putting so much money into this. I honestly think they have faith in this show. If that faith is misplaced we will not know for a while.
"Life in theater is give and take...but you need to be ready to give more then you take..."
sorry, I just get really annoyed of that fact too- "this show is doing "oh so well" while others can say its "dying quickly"
it will just take time. for everything. the masses have to switch their mind from LETS SEE a failure to LETS SEE A 'HIGH FLYING' broadway show. I don't think the grosses this early can represent anything yet. There is not enough time to prove. . anything. Next week they could be 1,100,000 and some would claim they are going to close the following week. Then it could make 1,900,000 and some would still bring up the fact that it will neveeerrrrrrrrrrrr gain much of a profit.
I just want to enjoy the fact that it is making something, that every show is making money. and these divas just make it so hard to enjoy theatre. so so so hard. Sorry for bitching :/
But sad to see CATCH ME IF YOU CAN numbers drop...I am really rooting for the show to stick around for a while. Norbert Leo Butz is absolutely phenomenal
