We walked out with armloads of merch and had a blast.

You say yourself that you had no interest in seeing it. There are others who feel the same myself included. I live in Massachusetts but come down to the city about one weekend every 6 weeks or so - this has never made the cut for me as I'm just not interested at all.

The OP should look at the silver lining: They got to see it at all and have this wonderful experience with their daughter. Because it’s a marvel the show is still open. If this were 2006 or 2008 or even 2012, this woulda posted notice the day of the Tony nominations, if not sooner.

Can we save dead outlaw while we're at it??

I've seen bootlegs of both of these shows, and i think they both deserve a place in the theatre scene. Unfortunately, It was gonna be hard to sell the idea of Betty Boop on Broadway, The character has been out of the spotlight for a while, and while there is an audience I think this would make a much better touring show. 

A traveling production would sell well, with more people having access to the show and having a chance for people to get actually interested with the show.

DEAD OUTLAW ON THE OTHER HAND SHOULD RUN FOREVER. THAT IS A WORK OF ART AND I'M PISSED THE PEOPLE DIDN'T SEE IT.

in other news, jeb brown should play hermes and i will be pissed at god if it does not happen.
