What you've said certainly makes sense, although if this gets great reviews and will be as brilliant as those in England have said with those two at the helm, people will fill the seats for the meager three months. Worse shows have ran much longer.

And as for the musician concept, maybe people will pile in because this finally does away with that!

I'm actually really glad Sondheim isn't mainstream.

Frankly, I don't care who sees it, so long as my butt is in a seat at some point during the run.

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Why are you glad Sondheim isn't mainstream?

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

^ Would you enjoy if a Sondheim show had fans like Wicked, Spring Awakening, Rent, etc have?

Imagine seeing little Yvonnes and Dots dressed up to see the show with their parasols!

Uh, yes. I would still like the show, even if it did have crazy fans. I would LOVE to see him become more mainstream.

- LMAO. That would be quite a sight.

Anyway, I like that he has a cult following. And I love being part of it.

Of course there's the option to extend after the scheduled closing date. Depends on ticket sales, like everything else.

Despite what you may have heard, the London production when it transfered to the Wyndams did far from sell out business during its run. The Meniers production of LIttle Shop is doing much better than George did. It will play its limited run with a struggle.

A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!'' Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

I am so unbelievably excited for this show, you have no idea. I agree it probably will not do as well as Sweeney, for a variety of reasons, I still think it will play out its run at Roundabout. The truth is, it is not done as much as say, Sweeney Todd, so people may be more inclined to come out and see it since there is not a lot of regional productions of it. Regardless of how it does, you can bet that my butt will be there, because I wouldn't miss this for the world.

I don't think it will do business as slow as Roundabout's PACIFIC OVERTURES did. I think it will sell more along the lines of their FOLLIES from 2001.

Anyway, I know my ass will be seeing this at least a couple times.

Does any Sondheim show really have a big following? When I think of shows with big followings, I think of GREASE or WICKED.

So the handful of shows with followings that big are the only things that will succeed on Broadway? Depressing thought. Of course no Sondheim show has that kind of following, but few shows do, and some of them still manage to do fine. I should think that Sunday will do well in its limited run.

It's going to extend past April. I can feel it. It has the very novel, very exciting concept of using animation and the two leading players have been so lauded on the West End, I wouldn't be surprised if they got even more superlatives from the critics here.
