I'm fascinated that the biggest hits - among musicals, anyway - are not at all dependent on stars, or even notable lead performers. Amazing how DEAR EVAN HANSEN continues to burn up the box office after Ben Platt's departure. I had wondered how dependent that show's success was on his performance.
Musicals can become juggernauts entirely independent from their cast. Plays... not so much. |
