| I'm a fan of G&S and have performed in many but they were written over a 100 years ago for audiences of that time. They don't really work for the same reason that most works from a hundred years ago don't translate well for Broadway audiences. Mikado and Pirates have had some successes in certain venues but they're just not going to appeal to general Broadway audiences. The music is very period and much of the humor intellectual based on issues of that day. They're always going to be a niche audience. |
