| I agree that Ben seems like the best option here, but I just don't see this finding the kind of audience that it needs any more than the original did or that any of JRB's shows have. The capitalization is low for a musical so it is fairly obvious they are not transforming it into some significantly more extravagant show (and it may also mean that they will not have a fortune to spend on marketing). But the big red flag here is that (unless they do some major surgery) the number of bodies required translates into a hefty nut. That's true of the competition (meaning Sweeney), too, of course, but I'm not sure I like the matchup. Announcing a musical as a limited run is curious, suggesting I guess that Ben has other ideas beyond mid-August, and good luck mustering the target audience in the dog days of summer. Against ST (and FG), where does this land? I don't know obvs but I am not confident. | |
