| I have to wonder that for an organization like 2nd Stage, with the pressure to fill stages, has to push forward properties that aren't ready for an audience. | |

| They aren't the only ones who have done this. And, yes, writing credentials do count and are probably too often enough to take something forward (and there is a history with this one). Though I liked this show more than the original poster. How many brand new plays/musicals are big successes? |

| Ann is absolutely correct...institutional theatres work hard to maintain relationships with writers and sometimes that means taking a chance on a piece that may not be ready or just simply may not be any good. It's worth it to them because, even though this particular play or musical may flop, the next one or the one after that could be a solid gold hit that goes to Broadway and pays them residuals for the next 20+ years. Every institutional theatre is searching for an A CHORUS LINE or a RENT to bring in money over a long period of time. That money can sustain the theatre and allow them to take chances that they wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford. |
