Munk on THE DROWSY CHAPERONE — Page 2

The old "people won't pay to see a show without falling chandeliers" argument is getting really, reall hackneyed.

If a show is good, people will pay to see it.

SWEENEY TODD has no falling chandeliers. THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA has no helicopters. DOUBT surely has no special effects either.

If something is good, it will generally run. If something is bad, it will not. Special effects have nothing to do with that.

Yet the youngins, especially, will flock to BROOKLYN and herald it as the second coming. Go figure.

Yeah, it just SUCKS when young people get excited about theater.

/sarcasm

Nobody's opinion on what makes a show "good" or "bad" to them is invalid. We all have different tastes. Why can't people get over that? And I hate it when people get annoyed because a gaggle of 12 year olds think a show is the 'second coming' - so WHAT? Everybody gets sucked into musical theater somehow. I enjoy their passion (if not ignore their instant messenger style typing skills)
