| I am not sure if audiences in Ohio or MA are even aware there is a MOCKINGBIRD on Broadway to piggyback. And I think the Sergel version has always been a popular title with community and regional production companies. The question is, does the Sorkin production have the right to stop productions of the Sergel version? I believe the Sergel version was written back in the 70s. Apparently there is a condition that the Sergel version cannot circumvent another "first class" Broadway production or tour. (Does that relegate the Sergel version to 2nd class status?) Canceling these productions must be a financial hit to Sergel's family, one of whom manages Dramatic Publishing. But how does a MOCKINGBIRD production hundreds and in some cases thousands of miles from NYC impact the Broadway production? It doesn't. They are canceling these productions because there is a POSSIBILITY that the Broadway production might tour in the future. If that is the case, I would argue that the tour is at least one year (probably more) away and there is no guarantee that the tour is going to stop anywhere near these localities. I think the Sorkin people are being unreasonable. | |
