I’m just surprised because besides being blatantly untrue and the reality being the exact opposite (ie Americans, at least those that present work in New York obviously make better musicals than Brits, with Matilda being a rare exception) in my opinion…it just seems like a bad idea to say ‘READ THE ROOM.’"
He did indeed. I don't know the exact quote, but it was the nail in the coffin. As I said, they ruffledallof their co-producers' feathers by not giving them above title billing, so their fate was all but sealed pretty early. Harvey and Cyndi were also essentially under the marquee at the Hirschfeld that Tony season kissing babies. It unfortunately was unlikely to ever go to Matilda."
If I recall correctly, there was also talk that part of the reason why Matilda lost votes for the Tony was because they hummed and hawed with their selection of producers that they turned off a lot of investors, producers, and theatre owners. To be honest, I didn't enjoy Matilda, I was bored. I liked Kinky Boots, but not its very forgettable. The show that season that I enjoyed the most was the revivals (Pippin, and Drood). Also, I have such low expectations from Bring It On, and enjoyed it the most of the new musicals, if I'm being honest

I kinda wish Phantom went into the hellinger. It would have kept the theatre as a broadway house. Let’s hope some day it returns to its former glory.
