One problem this board runs into is that people often present their opinions as stone-cold, irrefutable facts. That is what the OP is doing when he says that "The Right Girl" was the "only showstopper" in the original production. Many people who post on this board saw the original production and can testify that this was not the case ("Who's That Woman" being the most concrete example). The elevation of opinion to fact is what people are taking issue with here, not the opinion itself.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
