Why make such great attempts to salvage this particular project in the first place? Upon further analysis, it seems quite a choice to prioritize “The Music Man” in 2021.
This seems very much to be the statement of someone who does not know how shows come to be. Does the author imagine Broadway creatives meet around a big round table over whisky and cigars to promote one show over all others?
I'm not saying the show isn't problematic—I think those criticisms are valid in this day and age, and it's entirely appropriate to acknowledge them. But hitching it to this particular wagon of Broadway "prioritizing" the show seems... odd.
