>> I read buzz like this here

i'm really fascinated by this. last week i was in a bar (granted one that caters almost exclusively to a theater crowd, but still) before a show and at one point the couple next to me were talking about how they wanted to see SOMETHING ROTTEN. they got up, a guy sat down and the bartender started talking to him about what he wanted to see and the first thing the guy said was ... SOMETHING ROTTEN.

we were joined by friends and moved to a table and the folks across from us were talking about ... SOMETHING ROTTEN. i mentioned this chain of events to the folks who had joined us. they're pretty well tuned in and they had known about the title for a while. they said it had been kind of out there on the periphery for them but right on cue they chimed in with their version of "but i can't wait to see it."

how is this happening. yes there has been some highly favorable talk on this board - enough for me to get the special deal early-preview tickets for something i knew almost nothing about- but other than that how did this word of mouth generate because i know folks who doled out a whole lotta money for publicity that never got results like this.

it seems to be happening organically which is interesting since almost no one has actually seen it.
