It’s kind of interesting to read how this article starts. I think that’s it’s an interesting view on commercial theatre today. The fact that you can simply move a show to a different location and watch what happens is kind of funny and a little bit scary. I think that as the world of live entertainment changes, producers of Broadway shows are trying to come up with new ways of stretching their dollar. What’s important to remember is that this is not necessarily a bad thing. Just as you do with other products that you spend money on, you want something to be able to last as long as possible because of the cost of the product. Some people just have a hard time translating that to art, but that’s the whole other conversation. I know that transforming Broadway musicals to Las Vegas productions is fairly common but I will be interested to see how this one turns out.
