| pre-covid, LCT had a pretty reliable audience (at least for in-house shows that have far lower cash flow issues than rentals) for whatever they put on stage. That has changed because of covid. It is also, of course, true that this show has not been a magnet for ticket sales. But I believe that the primary causation here is covid. It took what would have been lousy numbers down to the point that the numbers were not viable. Add to that the health risks (and logistics) and you have a plausible explanation. As one of the late great producers was fond of saying, no failure or success in the theatre can be explained by a single variable. Also, it's a tangent in your post but I do not think it is reasonable to question the artistic bona fides of producing K&I or MFL any more than one might question the Public Theater or the RSC staging Hamlet. | |
