Yeah, no one wants to see the revivals because they're old, dated and not as exciting as the loud rock'n'roll upbeat shows like Mamma Mia and The Lion King.

There are only two Tony-nominated revivals in the bottom 5 for capacity. Little Shop was not nominated.

Yes it was. Hunter Foster was nominated for Best Actor in it. That would be a Tony nomination for the show (well obviously him too).
