Posted: 7/24/12 at 2:33amActually, it's been doing fine lately even during quieter times, and of course fantastically well during holidays. A rare example of a show stemming its decline. Disney was probably right to sense there was a saturation point for shows that appealed almost exclusively to families and to stop adding to the supply, for now. It seems Little Mermaid hurt Poppins. Newsies, not so much.

Different audience. Little Mermaid -- girls only and more appealing to the little ones.
Newsies -- males and females, good for family 10 and up. (Possibly even younger.)
And even thought I don't LOVE Newsies, it is FAR better than the vomit-fest that was Little Mermaid.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
