Nobody can argue with Merrick’s amazing success or willingness to put his money into importing successful UK shows. His record doesn’t need puffing by someone who doesn’t know what he/she is talking about.
It’s clear that you’re not aware of what Merrick actually produced or how to deal in actual facts. I listed four dire flop musicals that completely contradict your theory of “pretty good to exceptional.” You need to read more about these shows and some of the other musicals that did make it to New York that weren’t “pretty good.” If you want to make a case that “The Baker’s Wife” is pretty good, fine, but then I'd be happy to add to the list with shows that Merrick ran on Broadway.
A show that closes on opening night or soon thereafter is considered a flop, no matter how well intended, no matter who wrote it. Most musicals and plays that open on Broadway are well-intended. |
