When I used the term hit show in reference to ATP, I was using the term in the technical sense, meaning a show that had recouped its investment. I thought ATP fit into that category, though I might have been wrong about that. (As a side note, ATP did get 11 Tony nominations and was selling a heck of a lot of tickets before the advent of COVID-19. And again, realizing that my memory may be faulty, I'm pretty sure that it was a Critic's Pick of Ben Brantley.)
So I'll stand by my usage of the term. |
