Is Beetlejuice in trouble? — Page 2

It’s stuff like this that really makes me distrust and dislike Reidel. There are so many other ways he could have expressed this sentiment that don’t reveal a nasty bias. All he had to do was cite the recent ticket sales and negative reviews in order to convey this idea. But only would that have been less overtly vindictive, but it would have made him seem more credible. But he chooses to state his personal opinion as fact, THEN extrapolate from there that the Tony performance will be 100% ineffective, and use that as “proof” that the show is doomed (which it probably is, but that’s not my point). So many layers of idiocy.

My friends who have seen Beetlejuice have always gotten TKTS and were clearly in unsold premium seats as they were front center orchestra.

This season alone Scott Rudin was a producer on 5 of the new plays and 3 of the revivals. Clearly he's not worried about spacing out his productions to maximize his chances at winning more Tony Awards.
