I guess the general public doesn't want to have to slave away through a long boring play that was a chore to sit through in high school and is still a chore to sit through now - an artist that audiences pretend to like to seem sophisticated but can't understand 95% of what is going on or the details of the foreign language - English in name only. 

 

"It’s the fractured quality in [Bernadette Peters'] singing voice and line readings that puts across the character as someone for whom resentment is sliding into madness." - NYtimes on Follies (2011).
