| My sense was, Michael, that this man was part of the people who came in when raising money for the transfer and not part of the original team. He clearly considered himself an authority on how to make things work and what audiences want. And I agree with you about not understanding his show--and more so, what makes theater connect with people. And I was unable to ascertain who he was. |

| Thanks. It's a little bit of a relief -- though still disturbing, on another level -- that, as I suspected, the fellow in question was not so much a producer as a investor. | |

| Certainly. Or maybe just a mouthy blowhard. But he talked as if he had some say in the matter, but again, who knows? The crux of his comments was disheartening, though, especially when the actress he said would depart the production did indeed do so. | |

| "The crux of his comments was disheartening, though, especially when the actress he said would depart the production did indeed do so." Yes, I can certainly understand why it was very disheartening for you to have overheard that conversation. And P.S., aside from whatever judgments we might make about that blowhard for the opinion he expressed, I think we can all agree that he was an absolute idiot for speaking about something like that so openly while surrounded by people in an audience. For all he knew, one of Sara's relatives or closest friends could have been within earshot. P.P.S., again, I do wonder why Sara's appearance was not considered a problem when she was cast for the Off-Broadway production, but then one or more people came to see it as a problem for the move to Broadway. |

| "P.P.S., again, I do wonder why Sara's appearance was not considered a problem when she was cast for the Off-Broadway production, but then one or more people came to see it as a problem for the move to Broadway." I think it is because she is a beautiful person and there is nothing wrong with her appearance to a normal human being--indeed, to my eye, she, and Peri Gilpin and Vicki Lewis are all dazzling creatures. And this guy was clearly, as you point out, a boorish idiot. |
