Very well put. Universal themes are what make plays and films hits. Whether a show is set in New York or Iowa has little to do with why people relate with stories like WEST SIDE STORY or THE MUSIC MAN. And, of course, a great percentage of Broadway ticket sales are made up of out of town buyers. And of all the things I've read about MOTHERS AND SONS, Tyne Daly's performance is almost always mentioned as it's greatest strength. Comparing her abilities to Kim Kardashian is a bit off the mark. His opinion for sure but with all the other blunders in his piece, it's hard to take his opinion with more than a grain of salt.
