"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." I love serious musicals and especially love when they're produced well on Broadway. I saw this production in La Jolla and thought it was a tasteful revisal of a show that had worked best, in its original incarnation, when it was most impassioned. Daisy and Violet, in La Jolla, were nice girls who were fairly passive. Without putting a high belt to use, they never came alive to me. I assume Ryan Silverman is an improvement, but the approach seems to have remained the same. I can't see this vision filling the St James. As for Pippin comparisons, if it had moved to the St James, I imagine it would not make it to '15.
