No, what I was saying is that overall (1989 -- 2022, which are my theatre-going years), I would not put Merrily and Assassins in the top 5 for the Chicago area over Night Music, Forum, Sunday.
I admitted that in the last 5 years Merrily has been done twice in my area, which is probably indicative of a resurgence of interest.
I also admitted that my observation was anecdotally based.
Keep in mind that to Chicagoans, the phrase "Chicago area" includes Milwaukee, WI and Muenster, IN because the major Chicago newspapers often review productions in those cities when Chicago performers are featured in them. |
