-- I am amazed that 3 Tall Women is doing better than Angels. I know it got great reviews, but so did Angels. I am assuming three reasons why it is doing better: (1) (far and away key reason)Glenda Jackson return to Broadway with reviews of a lifetime; (2) Too recent revival of Angels Off-Broadway; and (3) time / cost commitment to see Angels.

When I first saw this 50 years (or when I read Pygmalion) I didn't realize that Eliza was understood by Shaw's audience to have been a prostitute -- that was a 'well known trope' for young women who sold flowers in Covent Garden -- it's in several paintings as well.
