I agree with you - "branding" is a good term to use here. (As I said, I knew I was making a statement full of generalizations.) Also, maybe a sense that finding the "right" composer for the show is not perhaps as important as it used to be. A&F have plenty of cred and experience, but somehow I never thought from the beginning that they'd be the right fit for Rocky - though I hoped their professionalism and general expertise would be enough. But it sounds like it wasn't.

I think the "team" that was put together for Rocky looks like what a computer would come up with. But are A&F the people you'd think of when you hire AT and SH to direct and choreo? Not likely.
