This will need two star names or it will flop, that’s a huge theatre to fill for 6 months. And it’s not like the show is going to get rave reviews to help it along.
This whole transfer has me wondering if A.R.T. Gatsby even has a future. I thought it was brilliant, but if this Gatsby tours and hits LA/Chicago as well as London, there’s no way to recover it. Which is so sad because I loved that production, and there’s no recordings that can easily be found anywhere.
