| Yes, you may be correct about the tourist influence in 1980. I have no specific data to support my post. We, of course went back to see Loudon, because, well, we were familiar with her and thought she might be fun to see. And she was. The show has become iconic, and rightfully so, but it really was not considered so outside a limited, though enthusiastic, audience and critical base so I am not sure a film or television "star" would have extended the run. To be honest, i thought Prince's scenic foundry overlay and other industrial revolution elements distracted a bit from the simple revenge theme of the work. However, I loved it, as did we all. (I also was captivated by the Doyle revival even though I could never figure out "where we were". I certainly, to this day, do not understand the scenic design which still makes me think he incorporated the set from elements of "I Am My Own Wife"). :) Well, as we unimaginative are fond of saying, "whatever". | |
