Jordan Catalano said: "Of her original musicals, they typically run around a year or so with “Little Women” being the biggest flop of them all, closing after four months. “Young Frankenstein” was a huge flop and still ran for over a year, but you can’t really blame that shows failure on her.
The last original musical she did was “Shrek” and that was 16 years ago, closing after a year so it’s not as if she has a string of shows that open and immediately close."
Exactly the points I was about to make. It’s also worth noting that SHREK and (to a lesser extend) LITTLE WOMEN are both frequently produced, and the pro-shot of SHREK is very popular (for a while it was on Netflix).
