Ouch. We’re bomibing. Big time.
I really wanted this show to be a big, fun hit. I really was hoping that we could all watch it and enjoy it and feel like we were a little part of the Broadway magic.
Instead, apparently $1 million in ticket sales was just not enough to actually make it all worthwhile. According to this New York Post online article, Michael Riedel echoes the feelings of my Chicago actor friend Jeffrey Stringer:
"Working actors think it demeans their profession, while the industry’s movers and shakers say it makes the theater business look tacky and cheap.
A group of theater people who winced through the latest installment called it "appalling," "sloppy" and "unwatchable," among other things."
Sour grapes, maybe? I missed the last episode (the TiVo didn’t get it after all) so I may never know. But still…I hope that Danny and Sandy prevail in the end.
