"Maybe it's not doing well because people aren't willing to celebrate the life of someone who wasn't a good person."
Perhaps, even though it wasn't a bio of his life. I think with the poor promotional campaign, a known violent felon being celebrated, and that most people I've talked to about the show will just go to a rap concert if they want to see rap being performed. I was at a midtown pizza place last week and I was sitting next to five tourists. They were going over what show to see. When someone suggested Holler one said "I don't want to see a black show". It's a little bit of everything, I think. I think rap belongs on Broadway but I don't think the majority of people that come to see a show in NYC would agree.
This show should have never happened with several out of town tryouts. It makes me sad how much money, time, and talent was wasted here.
