The 1992 GUYS AND DOLLS had one star...Peter Gallagher, who was a movie name at the time. Also Nathan Lane, while not a "star" per se, was well known among regular New York theatre goers. And, of course, it turned Faith Prince into a star and brought Lane to the attention of the mainstream.
The revival of KISS ME KATE had two genuine theatre stars in the leads, Brian Stokes Mitchell and Marin Mazzie, and probably would not have fared as well without them as it did with them. |
