Probably not the appropriate thread for this but i was wondering if the original Cast performed at the Tony's in '72. They aren't listed as performers on the Wikipedia page for the ceremony. If they didn't I just wondered why. They were still running weren't they?

RE: recouping 7.3 million. The cost to mount it on Broadway would not quite be $7.3 million would it? Considering the sets are already constructed, most of the cast rehearsed etc.. (I think this was mentioned in a previous article), and how much would they have got back from ticket sales in Washington? (a previous article claimed very high average ticket price)..So maybe recouping, if unlikely, isn't unimaginable..

They didn't perform. The tonys were so weird in the late 60s -early 80s. They didn't always have performances from every show

Here's what performed that year

The tony site has every performance from every tony awards

News of the transfer was posted on PerezHilton

And there is a really cringeworthy comment:

"Its good to see her back, but check your facts. The revivial wasnt "celebrated" in DC. The reviews were mixed to adequate. It still needs a lot of work before it can beat the last attempt to revive it (with Treat Williams, Blythe Danner, etc)."

I saw that. That person sounds truly uninformed, lol. That last revival was considered a huge disaster. Brantley was much more responsive to the KC production than the 2001 revival.

Why are you reading PerezHilton?

I wondered if that would incriminate me (and now ljay), but I'm sure that we both clicked the link from the FOLLIES ON BROADWAY facebook page.

A likely story.
