| Elaborating on what I said in a post below, I have no problem with you or anyone having a distaste for revisals. But almost everything you write suggests you are trying to usurp the prerogatives of those in control of the rights and hew the sense of was is "right" to mean simply "in accord with your tastes and preferences." 1. Nothing is "excused." The rights holder may or may not approve anything they choose; it's their property, not yours. A lot of theatre writers are delighted to have others "play" with their plays. Some are not. Again, their choice, not yours. And of course in many cases, this willingness is, at first at least, limited to small scale presentations of the revised/rethought material. If you would like to try to understand the other point of view, I recommend reading some of what Chuck Mee has written on the subject, e.g., https://www.charlesmee.org/about.shtml. 2. No one does anything (unless they break the law) without being "invited." Whether the result is to your liking or not (and I hope you will at least be honest enough to acknowledge that many people including Sondheim did not share your taste on this production), and whether it might damage the show's reputation (a suggestion as specious as it is arrogant, imo), is, respectfully, not your concern, any more than it is your concern if I throw baseballs so hard that I end up needing Tommy John surgery. 3. Again, your observations about Mendes are within your rights to say but are nothing more than an expression of your personal taste). To many people, what he did was a great favor artistically as well as financially. But any damage you might think occurred is, guess what, nunya. It never ceases to amaze me how many people on this board cannot or will not distinguish between their own taste and everything else. But such is life. |
