| Yes, I agree that a run of 3-5 years is the most likely course for DEH for many of these stated reasons, and I'm sure that the producers will be very happy with this outcome. But, part of me wonders whether this show might be the exception to the general rules. While as someone said, and I agree, that future changes in social media might make the show appear dated, there is still something about this story that is striking an emotional chord with teens and their parents. And that audience is being constantly replenished. So I wonder, won't kids who are 10 now want to see it in 5 years? And sure, it will be touring by then, but what is going to happen to significantly reduce its demand? I'm part of the school that doesn't think it's the Ben Platt show, but we'll know more about that in six months. Again, intellectually I agree with everyone else that it won't be a super long running show, but I'm just not certain of it. |

| Well, it's perfectly possible that you're right, and the rest of us will all be surprised! Time will tell. | |

| No, I'm not predicting that at all. I tried to make that clear. I agree with you and those who predict about a 3-4 year run. I'm just wondering if this show could surprise and run much longer, and only tried to articulate a possible reason why it might. | |
