| I haven't seen, nor have I read the play, but what do folks think the likelihood of it having a decent post-Broadway life? I'm sure the subject matter would be a draw for some of the professional/semi-professional theatres in my area (Boston), but I'm not sure that it would be something they could afford to produce not only because it's a 'two-parter', but because of the cast size. Thoughts??? |

| Or dozens of productions in major cities in the next few years by regional theaters. But probably not that many in the 5-10 year time frame. | |

| "My guess is several. Or dozens of productions in major cities in the next few years by regional theaters. " Should be interesting to see if you're right about this. On the one hand, regional houses could obviously produce this show far less expensively then Broadway, without having to spend as much for salaries for the fairly large cast. On the other hand, the two-part structure of the play may well limit the number of productions, not to mention the fact that the casting only calls for one woman. |

| If the show weren't in two parts I bet it could have toured & done particularly well around Pride month. I suppose holiday shows like Grinch, Elf & Christmas Story make the most of their 1-2 month seasons. Inheritance could have done the same doing a quick, intensified tour in June. But I think the 2-part format kills that idea. I really didn't care for the show but still would have rooted for its success. Too bad about the closing. |
