The Producer's Perspective: Imagine for a second that you start producing Broadway shows. And your first Broadway show is Wicked. The next Broadway show is bound to come up short, no matter how well it does, right?
That’s the position NBC was in after last year’s surprising The Sound of Music pulled in over 18 million viewers. It was a Wicked-like performance, and they set themselves up for a disappointment.
The ratings are now in for Pan and it pulled in only 9.2 million viewers (!), which is one of the best Thursday nights the network has ever had. But still, the rumors are that the big brass at NBC was upset.
Not me.
