I think the original production of
Merrily would qualify as a train wreck. Sacking the lead, the choreographer, changing the costumes to the t-shirts, running sixteen performances, people walking out, etc.
Don't get me wrong. As my name attests, I love
Merrily, but the original production was clearly a huge mess. It's partially due to the infamy of its original run that I don't think the show will ever truly connect with a mass audience.
