Has anybody gone to a preview of Regency Girls at the Old Globe in San Diego?
The show had big names in its various workshops- Lilias White, Ariana DeBose, Bonnie Milligan, Lilli Cooper, Lesli Margherita as well as an A-list director, Christopher Gattelli.
The show was originally announced to premier at the Goodman Theatre under the title “Female Troubles” in the summer of 2024 but was replaced by “Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil.”
Josh Rhodes is now the director/choreographer. He assembled a good cast but with no big names.

"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"

None of those people are selling tickets with the possible exception of Ariana DeBose, whose drawing power is untested on Broadway post-Oscar.
Christopher Gattelli has directed one (1) Broadway show. Hardly A-list.
Don't be hyperbolic. Shows change teams and titles all the time throughout the development process. It's why you take a show out of town.
