If you are of the opinion these are essentially niche broadcasts, as am i, then it makes to assume most of that niche had heard it wouldn’t be entirely live before it started.
Combine the technical difficulties in major markets with a weak start (at least one review today had a headline reading “Rent never overcomes weak opening”), add the PSA announcement at the first commercial with the cast making sad faces about their co-star’s injury and admitting “Most of what you will see tonight was recorded yesterday,” and I bet a majority of the audience simply never tuned in or had turned it off by 8:15.
Add in the exciting but publicity-wise disastrous news that there WAS in fact a live version going on in the studio, that the live audience was being treated to while the home audience was watching a day-old replay, and I have no problem believing that by 9, as many or more people were watching/talking about it on Twitter than on TV.
This was a PR fiasco all around. |
