| A few points to place these things in a little context (which still does not offset the yikes nature of all this): 1. Most shows played 7 or less (ASL played 5 due to illness). Next week that phenomenon will reverse. 2. Not nearly enough like it hot. 3. There was a double whammy of terrible weather and the worst possible calendar (Sat/Sun) Christmas< to be repeated of course for New Years. (And yes, that did not seem to bother the established shows that tourists flock to.) 4. I think the ANM sales were almost exclusively via buyouts and the like. They were giving away tickets like crazy.) (And sadlt, "at this point," it is closed. 5. Yes TMO was a terrible awful miscalculation. |

| As i wrote above too late to be noticed Cross dressing In no longer funny. Bigotry and bathroom bills from the right make gender identification a serious often deadly issue. Drag story hours in libraries are n the cross hairs. | |

| Aren’t drag queens all about humor with their names and performances? It’s absolutely still funny if done well. | |

| Thank you. But both can be cunny, or not funny, depending on the context. Almost anything can be funny if it's in a comic context. Sweeney Todd (particularly "A Little Priest") makes cannibalism funny - not something that's true most of the time. :-) |

| Yes, but I do think this production makes something good out of the premise. | |

| Right. Cross dressing itself isn’t inherently funny, and thank God, because the king of humor is based on the idea that men shouldn’t wear dresses. But people in disguise attempting to not get caught is a solid comic premise, and it works marvelously here. | |

| I agree. And that's why it's better that Christian Borle doesn't "pass." | |

| Advance sales wouldn’t be affected by weather but there are probably a lot of shows that are bought the day of where weather would be a huge issue. I didn’t realize ANMo closed so they probably also had a bump for that. |
