This musical is extremely produceable --easy costumes and sets, and very funny and fun, while also being thoughtful and intelligent. I think there will be many productions in the coming years, especially in places where billing it as "the final Sondheim musical" might impact sales (which is, I think, the majority of A and B level regional theaters). I think it will also become very very popular for colleges, especially in student productions (it might not have quite enough songs or a big enough cast for most colleges to choose for a mainstage). |
