This is easy. Part of my respect for Mr Rudin is based on his taste and ability get appropriate starts to commit to Broadway. His shows run, usually recoup, sometimes make some money, then he does a new show and closes the previous (shows). My kind of producer.
A producer just interested in easy money might keep DOLLY running with a series of stars of a certain age, and still make some money weekly. But he had Bette and Bernadette (and DOnna) All classy, important performers. Why go on?
I will always maintain that Broadway is a greater brand if shows close - not run 20-25-30 years. If you miss it, you've missed it. That has always been the mystique.
Mr Rudin does it right. IMHO |
