| Don't look for "common ingredients." All the great Broadway musical hits are unique--that's what makes them the great Broadway musical hits. Of course, they all have imitators afterwards, but the too obvious imitators tend to flop. In fact, being too much like some other recent Broadway hit is one of the things that can turn a good or goodish show into a flop, as the producers of Three Wishes For Jamie, Christine, or The Girl Who Came To Supper could tell you from experience. |
