"I know there are people here that have no idea that life exists beyond West 45th Street but Miss Buckley co-starred in the very successful television show "Eight is Enough" and has a major role in a bonafide classic "Carrie" among her film work. "

This seems to me a very odd and unnecessarily snarky comment, as people who are heavily into Broadway also have access to television and movies.

It was unnecessarily snarky, especially considering how out of touch the poster is if they think Buckley is selling tickets because of a forgettable tv show that is never seen or referenced anymore and has been off the air for 35 years, or a movie she wasn't even the breakout star of from 42 years ago (classic though it is, it's not like it's Sound of Music or Mrs. Doubtfire in terms of it's play).

If they are hoping to exploit that they'd have a better shot with Suzanne Somers, Delta Burke, or Kirstie Alley or as I suggested already, Phylicia Rashad. I have a feeling they are not depending on old tv shows and their fan bases for this casting choice. (and I acknowledge all of those actresses are much better known and their shows were bigger hits than Buckley/Eight is Enough, which was purposeful)
