Pinto, there has been much discussion of the fact that Heidi is a play of its time that does not appeal outside of that time. there has also been discussion of the fact that Ms. Moss is (like many other similar mistakes that have been made in other shows) not a significant enough draw to overcome the lack of interest in the material.
You have no obligation to research anything, but when you make statements (absolute ones, especially) without knowing what you are talking about, it not only undercuts your argument but also makes you seem like a clown. I thought you were starting to recognize this when you posted a halfway decent list you researched the other day. Maybe you don't care what others think of you: that's not a really swell posture for someone who purports to want a career in this business. The other show that makes no sense is LOL, something that ought to come at both the start and finish of most of your posts, unless you prefer to use a smiley face so we know you are just joking.
Roxy, thanks. I TRY not to condescend, though I fall victim to it occasionally but then I regret it. We don't need to agree with each other on this board, but I think we do need to separate our opinions from facts, and make sure we know what we are talking about before we post the latter. Opinions we all get to have. Whether a show makes sense is sometimes clearer in hindsight than beforehand, so when say that a show doesn't make sense before it is clear, we are obviously expressing an opinion. Smart people make mistakes, like the one you mention re Last Ship. But the same producer has made up for that mistake in spades subsequently. It is well to remember that the same mind that brought Book of Mormon to Broadway also brought Testament of Mary.
