| As the controversy in West Side Story demonstrated, Scott Rudin doesn't believe in "canceling". I'm personally glad he doesn't. You or I may see it without a star, but you know that most people will not pay Broadway prices for a revival of an old play without a star. |

| I'd rather see Hoffman originate a role in a new contemporary play, using his star power to help spotlight an up-and-coming writer. | |

| I'm so with you on that point. Even a six month run in a new script would give a play event status. Even Midler went out on a limb of sorts in Logan's piece on Sue Mengers (which is never mentioned in discussions of her Dolly phenom). No, Logan is far from an unkown, but it was synergy of star and material that had no built-in audience. | |
