Help me here what reviews did you read out of DC that were anything less than a rave? Are you talking about comments from this board? I've got to tell you as someone who disliked the original production I found the DC production amazing. I can't believe its the same show that made me cringe so many years ago. The context of the show is now perfect. I think what I am hearing is that the folks on this board are feeding a self-fulfilling prophecy that the serious musical has no place on Broadway. That thinking gives you what the cooks up at ART have come up with for Finding Neverland, what should have been a serious and touching musical is a work that tries to get there while pandering to the lowest common denominator and broadest demographic. If SideShow is produced smartly and gets the same raves it got in DC it should do very well and have a decent run. Not Lion King Run and maybe not even a Kinky Boots run but a modest Pippin like run which returns its investment and restores a stained jewel to the brilliance it should have had the first time around.
