This thread just reconfirms taste is very subjective. I loved HLL but didn’t enjoy KPOP at all. 
 

I think the challenge of moving these shows to broadway is that regardless of critical receptions, it’s ultimately a commercial venue. You need people to be able to appreciate it. I think not a lot of tourists are exposed to or familiar with the subjects, genere, or musical tastes to come in large enough numbers to keep these shows successful (for now).

Though I never attended a performance, I received a refund in July for the October 29 7PM performance after the many missteps the show experienced: the no musicians hullabaloo, the changed start time from 5:30PM to 7PM, the incident of unauthorized fans gaining backstage access to meet up with Lea Salonga, and the mixed buzz.

Sorry for the late response but while it is true that Tony VOTING can be quite political, the nominations are actually one of the least political things in all of show business. Very very limited discussion, secret voting, secret results. If you are worried someone might not want to do business with you next year because of what you nominated this year, you are in a safety zone. (And I am pretty sure THIS is the main reason for the secrecy and lack of interactivity.)
