It's stupid but that's the truth. Not many people associated with it think it's a good idea, but the producers are convinced that the show might catch on. They're crazy.
Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?
I just think it was a bad idea to bring GLORY DAYS the way it was brought in. But it's nice to see producers taking a chance, I think. I doubt CRY-BABY will last past the summer.

The summer? Unless the reviews are out and out raves, the show may not last a week. I am not wishing anyone ill on this. But some shows just have that air of failure about them.
If it had been done off-Broadway first, they could have seen how it played for audiences at a fraction of the cost.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks." Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
Genius, the reviews already came out last week. Keep up, dear.
