Of course, how can I forget that no show has ever improved after an early out-of-town developmental production?
I'm hearing rumors that the Nederlander is out. What other theatres are possibly up for grabs? They do have a commerical producer attached (like they seem to have for most of this season).

Are you sure you saw it twice? Because hey aren't the girl's two aunts. They are hergrandmother and her great aunt."
Not a "favorite" (though I did see it twice, but...):

Lisa Gajda (who may have more or less retired post-Tuck?) has at least 16 shows under her belt.
