The two situations are so different as to be incomparable. No one has ever known who is in “The Play that Goes Wrong.” If you’re buying a ticket, it’s because of the farce nature of the play, not the cast. The website literally makes a joke of the fact that nobody famous is in it.
“Doll’s House Part II” had Oscar, Emmy, and Tony winners, the whole original cast was Tony-nominated for the show, and the lead actress (well known from a popular sitcom) won the Tony on her fourth or fifth nomination. And the reviews were largely about those performances. Of course ticket buyers wanted to see that cast.
I can’t think of more dissimilar scenarios. |
