ok i'm sure I'll be flamed for this, but who cares:
you saw it last year and didn't like it singing?? there were two theatres on the top floor where the Magic Theatre is, did you step in the wrong one? While I do admit the bias of being a KB fan, the notion that she was far from likeable is laughable. Her chemistry and timing for the part were perfect and the audinces I was part of both times I saw it seemed to like her also.
I do concede that in a big broadway theatre, that might not translate well to the upper mezzanines, but put it in a more intimate setting (off-bway maybe to start and see how it goes) and it will easily draw more than cult fans. Very good show, great cast top to bottom.
I'm not exactly sure what the "right show" for Broadway means given the mix of shows we've seen over the last few years. But if I had $8 million to spare I'd finance it.
There are two ways of spreading light - to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
