| "Had a different cast of characters been smitten by this production, it would have transferred to Broadway where, even in the smallest house, it would have been less intimate. (And it would have won the Tony, but that's another matter.)" Yes. I believe the producer of the transfer has said basically that no available Broadway theater was viable for the production. But I do wish it could have transferred to Broadway for several reasons, including the fact that then it would have been eligible for the Tony nominations and awards that it deserves (and that the most recent Broadway revival of FIDDLER did not, except for the Burstein nomination). |

| That is what was said, but recognize that "viable" is a euphemism for "we don't have enough money." It does not require a great deal of sleuthing to figure out that there were physically viable alternatives available if the money had been in place. | |

You are probably correct, I was just repeating -- actually paraphrasing -- what was said. |
