Why wouldn't they do that, brdwybound?? The shows' key demographics couldn't be MORE different!

So no shows will be coming in because of Frozen and Harry Potter? Okay, totally makes sense.

Yes, except that for EJ a first draft is not far from a final draft, and PR is not exactly known as a Neil Simon type. I think you are right, especially considering that Rudnick has no idea what he's doing when writing lyrics, but the question is how firmly the producer keeps his hand on the tiller.

Yes, I'm sure there are scores of parents looking to take their 8 year old daughters to Mean Girls.
