It’s a good show but it’s not a broadway show. As cool as it would be to have a show like this on broadway I don’t think broadway audiences would pay for it.
No, after Lortel I want the rights to be released immediately so talented black actresses in local communities/colleges/high schools have the chance to work on this fantastic play.
this is one of the best shows i saw last year, and fyi a transfer is in the cards for the spring "it wont find an audience on broadway" thats why its coming back for an encore run and most of the cast is going with it to LA, some of you folks drive me crazy sometime
I enjoyed this show a lot, and I wish them nothing but the best! But yeah, I don't see this going to Broadway either. Not only do I worry about its commercial prospects (although admittedly the running cost would be very low) - I just don't think it needs to. Not every good play needs to run on Broadway; that isn't the ultimate measure of success. Two runs at MCC, a run in LA, a special Drama Desk for the cast, and likely a healthy licensing future, are not things to scoff at. In fact, I would argue that those achievements are more significant than a short run on Broadway and a couple of Tony nominations
If I'm wrong, and it does go to Broadway, I'll be very happy for them. Like I said, I wish them nothing but the best!
