I have a related question, revolving around the idea that a money-losing show might eventually catch on. Does this really work? Has any show in the past few decades turned around their box office fortunes WITHOUT help from winning Tonys? I'm thinking about a show that was still not meeting its nut a month after opening, so that its reviews or opening-related publicity had kicked in and it hadn't turned around yet. I guess Smokey Joe's Cafe would qualify -- it wasn't going to win Tonys, but the producers were justified in keeping the show running until the Tonys were televised. Are there other examples?
