Critical Bites
After the West Coast tryout, the San Francisco Chronicle called it “didactic, disjointed, oddly miscast, confusingly designed, and floundering in an almost unrelentingly saccharine score.”
Worldly Success
Grossed $4.3 million
in its tryout, but the critical drubbing had producers delaying the New York opening—and hiring a consultant to, uh,
revamp the $12 million production. Will it kill
on Broadway—or get burned in the light of day?
