I agree, it was covid what killed her.
When you see a half-full LCT theater and it's still very much during the original subscriber run... which isn't all that long given how many subscribers there are and what a coveted membership it is... it is likely not because NO ONE is willing to see it including people who know it is part of a relatively small season that they already subscribe to see. Let alone an exciting new musical by some of the best creatives of the last several decades, and starring at least one actor who headlined the most recent hit musical at LCT.
But who knows.
And fine, I don't disagree about the justification/bona fides of production K&I or MFL vs Hamlet. And LCT has done quite a few Shakespeare revivals. But I don't think they were given the kind of visionary productions or had the relevance that other revivals they've done had. But maybe I'm just thinking of Carousel and South Pacific. And I'm very glad there is a theater willing to spend the money they spend to give golden age musicals the kind of productions (and orchestras) they deserve. |
