Since he couldn't do a taped production number at Shubert, Rudin chose a one person song for a nearly sold out show. Would a splashy number last June really be selling tickets for Peters? I doubt it. It cost spring awakening $200k to present a number at the Tonys. I was surprised falsettos did, but it is touring so maybe they thought it was a good investment. I doubt penny number cost $200k.

I agree it doesn't add much to thenshow to include, but I don't find it an overlong show like les miz or Hamilton that a needless number makes even longer.

I wonder if an excuse might be found this June for Peters and company to do "Hello, Dolly!" at the Tonys. It was a truly spectacular moment and might goose ticket sales now that Midler is gone and tickets can be had.

Not sure if it's wise to give away the big moment on television, but who knows?

And it cost lots of money and he would have to beg to get a spot for last season show. I don't see it happening.
