Very selfishly, I don't want the show to be a Monster Hit. If it were, it would be less "mine, and mine alone". I've always thought of this show as a gem, which is also why I particularly love this production's jewel box stage design concept.
I want this particular production to succeed only to the extent that its investors recoup a satisfactory return, and its cast be employed only until they're ready to move on to something new. Beyond that, its success would inappropriately be cluttered by parasitic patrons suckling for "I saw it" status. If that were to happen, no one would take me seriously when I said, "You have to see this show!" (uh-huh... everybody says that.)
Everyone sees the magnificence of a sparkling diamond, but overexposure is like tarnish, or that crusty fermentation of sloughed skin cells in-between the links on a watch band, or the prongs of a ring setting. When there's too much of it, the beauty is obscured.
