| I think it’s several things but ultimately that the material is just not of interest to the public. No urgency to see it. | |

| I loved it but tourists want to see stars... I also loved FAT HAM but I fear that will fare as poorly as AINT NO MO with no names..cruel as it may be, I wonder if they would consider swapping out some of the cast, excellent as they are..for some names. It is a business after all |

| Are there a lot of Broadway shows right now, besides Music Man, with stars? | |

| Not really, nor are there ever. Most new musicals that succeed do so without people the general public would call stars. | |

| Even though most of the reviews were very positive, not everyone is leaving the theatre saying it's a must see, especially at a full price ticket. Discount ticket, sure - - - but that's the problem with the theatre model today. Unless a substantial number of the audience are paying full price (and now premium seats are factored into the budget), a big musical can hardly hang on to even try and build an audience. Too bad it has become this way - - - of course, producers can always write checks to cover losses which certainly has been done in the past, usually to no avail. | |

| That would be my guess, too. I haven't seen the show and am not feeling inclined to. Another unnecessary musical version of an old movie, and this one of an old movie of which we've already had one previous unnecessary musical version? I'll pass. Frankly, I never loved the original film all that much either. | |

| No urgency? How about, it’s a well written, well scored, well acted, well sung, well danced, feel good musical comedy????? | |

| No question that there’s a ton of talent involved. But there needs to be a reason to present a piece at a certain time or place. I just think Some Like It Hot probably lacks that right now. I love Broadway but Some Like It Hot doesn’t much interest me either right now. And by now, ive spent my money on other shows. | |

| Could it be; 1. Nobody buying tickets during this difficult (economically) Holiday season? 2. Subject matter too "woke" for the buying population? 3. Buyers want the original story and not a modernization? 4. Marilyn Monroe is dead? Your thoughts? |
