| You're right! The Playbill article on 9/04/16 confirms that the production recouped. Apparently I missed it back then. Like you said it was a pretty low-key announcement. I never really doubted your claim -- it made sense. I just never had seen an official announcement. Les Miserables is that rare show that audiences presumably never tire of. I think the original Oklahoma! was like that also (for a considerable length of time), but not many other shows. When My Fair Lady burst on the scene and was so acclaimed, I thought for sure it would be popular for many years afterward, but sadly that has not been the case. |
