The show must go on
Variety.com: "Ten years into its 15-year original Broadway run, I went to the Shubert Theater to see 'A Chorus Line' a second time and was deflated to discover that the invigorating opening lyric 'Again ... Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch' had faded to 'Schlep, shuffle, shuffle, shrug, shuffle, shlump.' At least that's how it felt."

I can identify with this article--not necessarily with Broadway theatre, but with touring productions. I have seen a few that were sub-standard, tired, and just about ready to go to their graves. I think that it seems so foreign to me because I have always considered theatre an art, but that is less the focus on Broadway. The mindset is very commercial, so as long as the show is making money, they keep it running.
