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. |
