Proving once again if you want to see innovative, thought provoking, exciting theatre, Broadway is the last place you should look. Shows like that can't survive on Broadway. Broadway audiences for the most part have become too stupid to see something that might require them to think.
Crap does pretty well though: Wicked, Mamma Mia, Phantom.
At least, for now, it's still getting a chance!
Good for the producers for taking a big leap of faith and mounting the show on Broadway. It would have been nice if it had garnered more of an audience because then more people would have realized what a hysterical show it really is. It's certainly not an easy sell on paper, however.
Hope it has a very healthy and happy afterlife!
