Surely they have budgeted for that and felt that the alternative- a lesser-known replacement like the brilliant Maureen Moore- or simply a six-show week- would be less financially sensible.
In 1997 I would have thought that the success of CHICAGO was predicated on the presence of four very big names but the Weisslers were proven right and twenty years later the show is running.
I know DOLLY! is a very different beast and is an infinitely more expensive show to run, but I think the principle is worth trying to replicate. I wouldn't want to see reality stars going in to play Dolly, but there are enough great and well-known actresses between 40 and 70 who, I think, would draw crowds, especially if they look beyond just the usual suspects. |
