"In a case like this, where the star of the show is the character, not any particular performer, the producers don't feel a need to haul out spotlights to highlight the cast change. As long as they've fulfilled their contractually mandated responsibilities to let the audience know, that's all they're going to do. When it does matter, producers do step up. "
I must strongly disagree with your implication that it "doesn't matter" in this case, as it seems to me that many reviews cited Stephanie J. Block's performance as one of the highlights of the show. In fact, it seems to me that her performance and Bob Mackie's costumes were the only aspects of the show that received almost consistently great reviews. |
