I think alot more locals attended theatre regularly back then before it became mostly tourists with bad taste and big pockets..and you are SO right...they aren't choosing to see MUSIC MAN two months before opening...it's cause they are here now. I wonder if Sutton does play opposite the understudy for 4 shows will that mean less refunds? I believe a fair amt of people stayed to see Linda Mugelston do the one perf Midler missed in DOLLY...but then I think they were already there and it was too late to see anything else
