Posted: 9/17/04 at 9:59pmI know that ticket sales are what help the show, but maybe people need a bit of a push since the reviews are not that kind.

Posted: 9/17/04 at 10:02pmGee, and here I was expecting to see a lame StageSpace-like petition when I clicked. Instead, I got Geocities templates. What a relief.

Posted: 9/17/04 at 10:04pmIs this a joke or have the 13 year olds taken over the world?

Posted: 9/17/04 at 10:09pmi'm not saying that word of mouth won't sell tickets -- i'm saying that a petition is not word of mouth. it's preaching to the converted.

Yeah. 13-year-old web "designers," I think.

Posted: 9/17/04 at 10:15pmI like his music. I know its not what everyone thinks of when they think of Broadway but I think he has done some good stuff.

Posted: 9/17/04 at 10:21pmSomehow I think that Connie Francis should record an album of Wildhorn's music. His talent deserves nothing less.

Oh please, we could ALL wish and dream to have sugar daddies like Mme. Wildhorn -- every single one of his shows have lost MILLIONS in New York, but that doesn't matter at all since he has billionaire investors in Europe willing to prop up his shows here, kicking in hundreds of thousands of dollars every week to keep his shows -- that apparently the real ticket-buyers have little, if any, interest in supporting -- running for years at a time.
DRACULA clearly doesn't need anybody's money -- it will run whether anybody ever buys a ticket for it or not.
I just wish someone would introduce his sugar daddy to some of the really talented composers out there that could actually use the tens of millions that are poured into the bottomless pit that is Wildhorn (who's a multimillionaire himself) and instead prop up a show by a composer who's actually trying to enrich and advance the artform of musical theatre -- Tesori, LaChiusa, Finn, Lippa, Guettel (though with grandpa's money, he doesn't need any handouts), Kristen Childs, Yazbek, et al...

I think Lippa needs a Broadway musical, now!
I wish I could see Dracula, being a minor Wildhorn fan. (I admit it, I had Scarlet Pimpernel on repeat). However, I fear it will be past closing when I get to NYC later in the year or early next year.
Margo, you say his investors in Europe will keep them up. But don't they have to at least sell some? It seems like they are selling so few, it can't be worth it at all. Do these guys in Europe get tax breaks?
