| NOTE: Sorry if you already saw this--it was unintentionally deleted and I was told to repost. I haven't seen it but my tickets are already bought, so, c'est la vie. I think what a lot of people are missing is that Encores has been forced into new parameters not only by the new creative team but by City Center's own mission, which came in the wake of the We See You manifesto. I am NOT going to comment on whether the mission change (or the manifesto) were "right" or "wrong" (nope, let someone else open that can of worms)--but they HAPPENED nonetheless. It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to square the original Encores mission with the Commitment to Anti-Racism statement prominently displayed on the City Center site, or the agreement the three major Broadway chains have made in terms of representation on creative teams, etc. Not sure why Sondheim seems to be the one person whose shows are grandfathered in, but that's another story. I absolutely agree that they should have retired the Encores name for this. But if anyone thinks that City Centers can just do "original flavor" Encores after making a bunch of promises, they are mistaken. The PR fallout would be a nightmare. |
