Godspell Coming to Broadway This Year? Maybe...

I got this interesting mailer about Godspell today.

Essentially, the producers are trying to fund the show $1000 at a time from theater goers. But only if you're in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, or New York.

This is the first time I've seen a mailer like this, so I have to ask: is this a particularly common practice? It seems strange to blindly cast such a wide net for funding. For example, I can't for the life of me figure out why I, a serial TKTS/Lottery/Rush ticket purchaser, even received this.

They want to get the show on Broadway this year, so we'll have to see what happens with this latest effort.

This is a new approach -- but we learned of it a few months ago from producer Ken Davenport. (Kind of an interesting idea.)


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

They probably bought a mailing list from some where and tried to target theater-goers.

I believe it when I see it.
