| My guess is that it will not. I'd be happy to be wrong. I think it is too small, and one common thing about the super long runs (as opposed to the very healthy runs) is that they are not small. Another factor may be that I am not convinced it can be appreciated by people who are not able to follow it because there is no spectacle. That seems to be another characteristic of the super long runs, no? (A side bar to this point: Comet. Here I think we have an example of a show that has all of the attributes of a long running show except it lacks the producing and marketing.) | |

| I think DEH could become dated because it's so of its time. I don't know what new technology is coming around the corner but it could make even DEH a look old fashioned. | |

| Interesting, and I think you've hit on something. Though Chorus Line and Rent can be done "small" and don't have the spectacle of the others that have hit the 5000 mark, they each have that sine qua non that makes you think of them as large. With A Chorus Line, maybe it's the dancing, which is non existent in DEH. I don't remember Rent well enough to figure out what the magic sauce might have been. I have no idea how DEH is resonating with foreign tourists. It's an interesting question. And the sample to date is probably far too small to draw any conclusions. |
