| Maybe the producers consider an Off-Broadway subscription run, with a long preview period, a tryout of sorts. Do other cities deserve a show in need of shaping any more than NYC does? | |

| Not sure which point you are trying to make. Spelling Bee had an initial development and production at Barrington Stage, and Next to Normal was such a mess in its Second Stage production that it had to go to D.C. and significantly re-vamp itself before it could return to New York. At the time, there was a good deal of writing about how Next to Normal was unique in being saved in this manner. So neither are good examples of shows that opened cold Off-Broadway and went to Broadway. |

| Fairly or not, the version of the show that opens Off-Broadway will be seen as the final version, and the reviews that come out of New York will affect the show’s ability to be produced regionally. Ever so often, a Musical can survive a bad Off-Broadway premiere (think Next to Normal), but this will probably not be one of them. White Girl might have been able to reach a point where it could be produced quite a lot by bigger theaters in the next five years (to the benefit of audiences all across the country), but I fear it’s going to be DOA. |
