The original production was the quintessential Times Be Damned poster child. Like its cohort, On the Town, this show has an essentially inexperienced producer, and a bunch of people who may have deep pockets but shallow patience. I think the Thanksgiving weekend is going to tell us what we need to know.

How was it "Times be damned?" The Times gave it a very facorable review back in '97 and again Tuesday morning? I think a more accurate statement would be that the original was "ticket sales be damned."

"Times be damned" in the sense that the ticket buying public was not swayed by either the favorable review or the relentless cheerleading that followed it. I think we are saying the same thing, albeit differently.
