I loved the show. Not because it worked so well story-wise, but because of the individual performances. To this day, Raul doing Petrified is the single most powerful performance of a song I ever saw, and was worth the price of a ticket.
Anyway, one problem the show had was that you never got to know much about, nor care, about any of the characters. One member of the cast told me, during a long discussion of the show, that Rosie cut much of the script which dealt with knowing the characters. In fact, from that conversation I had, I got the general impression that Rosie indeed deserved most of the blame for that show's failure.
As for me- I could have watched it every night!
btw-munk-wink wink about Dark Angel's av!

Petal was a drug dealer who was a butch bloke who just happened to be a drug dealer(based on a real person of the time) he was seen as the bottom of the barrel of drug dealers who you would only go to if you were desperate.
His part was cut due to his skirt being round his waist with a small pair of briefs on and not leaving much to the imagination.
he had lines such as (talking about cum) i could wash my face in it everyday.
The broadway show just lacked the impact the london one did , it was to glossy and pretty when the real taboo was dark and dirty.
It was a massive missed opportunity.
The Broadway advertising really did not help (the UKs was a simple white poster with a face on and looked ace)
