In agreement that the chipper website looks more like Send Me No Flowers than Days of Wine and Roses. Why the hell did they go with the tacky Pekoe Group?? I can't imagine that the creatives are terribly pleased with it, either.
Capitalizing a person's name is just pretty standard if you passed 2nd grade, just an FYI. Also, when you say he "always had hits" and he clearly has not? You'll be called out here. Every time.

LOL what is even being argued here? Michael Greif has obviously had multiple hits. Sure, he’s directed some flops, but to argue that his career has no hits over what is now a quite lengthy period of time is just being ignorant. I don’t think anyone was saying everything he touches is gold.

It's the standard Sutton harassment of a new board member, pay it no mind.
Lolz. Totally. Someone who says "Everyone is mean to her and will act outraged when she votes to defund the arts. We need her!" about Lauren Boebert is not a real person, is no one we need around here, and will be gone tomorrow. Enjoying defending their bull*hit tho!

The meltdown commences. You do this to every new member on this board that says something that doesn't meet your standards of decorum and knowhow you've decided should be applied to everyone posting here. I pointed out YOUR aggressive demeanor toward other members of this board, did not mention any of what this person was saying. This is not new, I bring it up every time you put on your bully pants in these threads. Which is often.
Your periodic reminder that putting certain message board users on IGNORE makes the entire site experience better and if they contribute anything really positive and worthwhile, it almost always appears in someone else's posts.
Everything that Michael Greif touched in terms of artistic quality does tend to be gold. Or at least chocolate covered in gold foil. Regardless of commercial outcome I’m guessing anyone that cares about serious theatre will love this, and I now want to get back to NYC to see this.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

There was very little choreo in the Atlantic production.
I don't know the behind-the-scenes of it all, but my assumption is: Karla is a relative newcomer as a Bway choreographer, Sergio is a busy man (and a director in his own right), and he may be there in more of a supervisory/mentor role.

It is, and i'm loath to defend Sutton's antics BUT this poster keeps posting the most wildly ignorant comments about Lauren Boebert, lowering the bar for even these boards. This rude welcome is more than deserved.
As for the show in question: on the one hand, kudos to the producers for funding adult productions. On the other, did this sell out downtown? Am i wrong in remembering very lukewarm reactions to it? Isnt Studio 54 rather enormous for a show this niche and intimate?
here is a link to the original version of the story that starred Piper Laurie and Cliff Robertson. it aired on television and was acclaimed for it's realistic portraits of alcoholism . Written by JP Miller, he later adapted it to a film that starred Lee Remick and Jack Lemmon .

But a tough commercial sell."
I think your second sentence offers a very plausible reason for why it isn't unexpected that some people are surprised this transferred ... as does your reaction to the show itself.
