I see what you did there!

I thought the show was quite fun, but what do people think is the alchemy that has sustained the success of Oh Mary! and at a pretty substantial average ticket price?

Is it primarily being the lone truly funny show offering that is riding a surge of WOM buzz and pretty decent coverage on major talk TV shows? I know Cole has built up an audience over the years, but this seems to be expanding far beyond that.

It seems like one of those "lightning in a bottle" moments that easily could have gone a different way at a different time.

I know what you mean. It's all about timing and riding the momentum.

I would presume they have already recouped or close to recouping given all the record breaking grosses.

Assuming we're talking primarily about Doc Brown, I really don't think there's anyone who'd be (A) willing to do it and (B) meaningful enough at the box office to make a massive difference. Like I don't think a Jason Alexander type is going to move the needle enough.

Though if conversations between the producer and Shubert have already been had then it's a moot point.

Ouch. Am I hallucinating or did the last few falls do a lot better than this??
