Lou, You always say you want to see a wide variety of audinces and all shows to do well and then you take a swipe at Elitists and Sondheim. So do you not want those of us who enjoy artistically done theatre to also have a place, many shows don't run as long that's true, but they still play a role. I know actors, crew, and musicians who feel honored to work on Sondheim shows, even if that means they may not run as long.
I am a person who enjoys well crafted theatre, I like spectacle and substance and actually support all the shows on Broadway.
By the way with Chitty I am very glad it is doing well, and it did not get terrible reviews, but it certainly should not win awards because it will sell well. I think it has some performances that could pick up nominations, and the sets, etc are well done though.
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.
