I have enjoyed seeing The Empress Busch for many years now. Sometimes the efforts are slight and silly, sometimes they are hilarious and silly (The Divine Sister). The Broadway production of Tale of the Allergists Wife was even better than that thanks to the deep and soulful performance of Linda Lavin. That was a very satisfying boulevard comedy. But I still enjoy the camp pieces, as well. I never got to see the piece about "Our American Cousin".

I did not like Divine Sister at all.

Linda Lavin elevates everything she's in.

But I think his stuff is silly which is fine for dinner theatre fare but not for Broadway.

I thought she elevated it to Broadway, the only one of his plays to play there. Busch has enough of a following to play off Broadway which he has done sometimes successfully, sometimes not.
