And was sold out ever since. A hit is a hit no matter when it opens. Last fall was rather weak for plays so it really got to shine. This spring will be a lot of buzz for trilogy and hangman. So I doubt inheritance would have done much better in the boxoffice after a few months.

Jeff Daniels is an above the marquee name. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a known quantity, having been both a best selling classic novel and an award winning film. "The Inheritance" had neither a truly known name (with all due respect to the excellent Lois Smith and John Benjamin Hickey) nor advance knowledge of the work and its theme. I am not one who believes that an actor should be asked about his sexual identity in order to be cast (indeed that is illegal) but a known out gay actor probably would have done wonders to help the box office of this play.
