| Although it may be the best of the bunch, cross dressing may not have the humor it once had as bathroom bills and bigotry are increasing. The right is doing great harm. Yes SLIH may be better than Tootsie or Doubtfire, but both of the flopped. Tootsie got good reviews but closed before the pandemic. SLIH got better reviews but is doing worse business. Shows give 7 perfs the week before Xmas so the can give 9 Xmas to New Year’s Eve. Sugar played when 500 + perfs was a long run. Larger population now and other factors cause hits to runlonger. Now 1000+ perfs are a long run. In this time of right wing hyteria, cross dressing is not fun or funny |

| Nobody has ever bought a ticket thinking "men in dresses are funny, let's see that." The premise in SLIH is the same as SISTER ACT - "escape danger via an outlandish disguise" - and the show flies or fails on what the writers build on top of that well-understood premise. Cross-dressing is inherently interesting because it implicitly critiques social conventions of various kinds. At the moment it's under intermittent attack (from all directions) by those who confuse how we enact gender with how we inhabit it. It's stupid, but it will pass. |
