So let's assume for the moment...

That Side Show garners raves reviews across the board, including Old Ben. (And after seeing it in DC, this might well happen.) What do we think will be the fate of the show under those circumstances? (And I wish it nothing but the best, especially having met both Bill and Bruce at ATC parties.) Would great reviews be able to generate a hit for a show that has previously flopped, with no name stars to sell tickets and subject matter that is off-putting to some? I wish the show was not going into the St. James but to a much smaller house, but so be it. I assume that they will curtain off a fair portion of the balcony. By the way, the one change from DC that I HOPE they will make is to cut the Houdini number (and character.) It's unnecessary, and it will get the running time down to about 2:30.
