A Royal Behemoth Stumbles to Broadway

New York Times: "In a Broadway landscape currently filled with plays and boutique musicals “The Pirate Queen” is a behemoth: large scale, ambitious and one of the most expensive shows of the season, if not the most expensive. It has involved some of Broadway’s top talent, both the artists with it from the start and those brought in during an all-hands-on-deck overhaul after its disappointing debut in Chicago. And in interviews before and after the Broadway debut the producers and creative team said “The Pirate Queen” is the show they had envisioned from the start, even if getting it to that point was a struggle."
