"The simple answer is that the folks charged with marketing the show have dropped the ball big time."

I don't know that I agree, and even if that is true, there's MUCH more to it than that.

The real, tragic answer is that, at least among the general public, there's little or no appreciation for quality on Broadway at a time when at least six of the musicals now on the boards (both old and new shows) are trash, yet are very popular with audiences NOT because of quality but because of audience familiarity with the movies on which they're based or the popular song catalogs they have plundered.
