Go out into the street and ask folks if they ever heard of "The Sound of Music", "Grease" or "West Side Story". I guarantee most will say yes. Now ask the same question about "Into The Woods". I guarantee no. Something that is not well-known cannot be beloved...it can be liked or loved by those who do. Yes, many people do not know "Jersey Boys"...I'd wager even less know "ITW".

I adore "Flower Drum Song". Hit Broadway show....Rodgers and Hammerstein....mildly successful film...beloved? No way. I might love it....but it's not beloved.

I do agree with you that there is a middle ground. I'm not so sure it applies to "ITW".
