I've seen the movie several times, I've heard the cast recording(s) countless times... it's a pretty straight forward show that's hard to mess up. So I am on board with seeing it this way. BUT I also have never, that I recall, had the opportunity to see a production at even a good regional theater let alone a major pre-broadway tour. I'm sure there have been regional productions I've been unaware of it my area(s) over my adult life, I know the show is not rare.
But I think a ton of the people who would be advertised to and buying tickets have not seen the show live ever, if even listened to it or seen the film, and this is their big shot. So in that regard it does make me nervous that they only get to see it with gimmick casting.
But I also know this revival is/was/is only happening because Paulus wanted to do it this way... so... that's how it goes.
I was really looking forward to it either. |
