Something to Ponder

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that certain shows capture the interest of the people on this board more than others. How many threads are there for WICKED and TABOO? Now that Nathan and Matthew are returning to THE PRODUCERS, we have a whole smattering of threads concerning that. However, theatrical offerings like THE VIOLET HOUR, WONDERFUL TOWN, and NEVER GONNA DANCE are virtually ignored by this group.

I wonder why this is so?

With any luck, the two previewing musicals, Wonderful Town and Never Gonna Dance, will zip in under the radar and miss getting hit with vegetables from indiscrimiate posters who want to snipe that one of them doesn't have any scenery and the other doesn't have any stars.

With any luck at all both musicals will make it to opening night without limping under a lot of pre-opening luggage which would include the NY Post and its hatchet-people.

As for the plays, they don't have the sex appeal of a musical although Henry IV opening tomorrow night is a real nice production, except I wish I had read the production notes before I watched it rather than afterwards.

"With any luck at all both musicals will make it to opening night without limping under a lot of pre-opening luggage which would include the NY Post and its hatchet-people."

Amen, WOSQ.

I am looking forward to a repeat on WONDERFUL TOWN, and to NEVER GONNA DANCE.

VIOLET HOUR doesn't appeal to me, so I'll sit that one out.

Those of us with a certain refined level of taste are posting on this thread so I couldn't resist joining you lovely bunch of bananas.

Cheers, Bulldog!

"A refined level of taste"???? Oh, so that's why Albin hasn't posted anything on this thread!
