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. |
