| No one, not even people paid boatloads of money to figure these things out, can speak authoritatively on the subject. It's the theatre: you do your research, you make your best assumptions, you check your gut, and you hope for the best. What I have said, and what I think the person you are responding to has said, is that there is not a substantial natural crossover. But when we are talking about a broadway show, we are assessing what buttons will need to be pushed for this to be a success. As I have written here many times, a producer cannot put all of their eggs in one basket. If they do it write, they will do their best to sell tickets to every conceivable market, from hardcore Pinter fans to Hardcore Marvel fans, to people who think the actors are damn sexy, and anyone else they can convince this is a must see. Several people have gushed over the production. Believe it or not there is a market made up of people who go to see that which others have gushed over. |
