| Who knows why its not selling better? I can only speak for myself but I am just not excited about it - even though I really "should" be. I love the composer, I love an old-fashioned feeling Broadway show and I sit squarely in the camp that feels like this story needed a firm dose of 2022 perspective to even hope to succeed (and I am glad it got it) All that said - I have not yet bought a ticket for my trip in a few weeks. Though the reviews will probably push me over the edge eventually. | |

| You gave us a lot of reasons you’re interested in seeing it. Can you pinpoint why you’re not? | |

| To be fair - no - not one definitive reason. I don't love Christian Borle - though I have enjoyed him in a few things (FALSETTOS). I miss shows with actually sets - everything I have seen seems to indicate this is played in some sort of nebulous. art-deco box. I don't know - just stating that I feel that I should be more excited than I am but I am not. I have also been burned by so many of these film to stage adaptions of late | |

| The Pask sets are lovely and ever changing; Barnes’s costumes are among his best, evocative as Hollywood glamor yet grounded when verisimilitude is required. The budget is all on view; the audience is privy to a built world, MGM and Broadway. No one is cheated. | |
