broadway success doesn’t translate. again!
Interesting to see that the Bridge and Tunnel tour has cancelled, as reported in Playbill.
Bridge and Tunnel was a big hit in New York, but, as Ross always says, "if you make it here, you can make it nowhere". New York is its own unique theatrical marketplace, and being a hit doesn’t equate to success anywhere else. That’s especially true of a show like Bridge and Tunnel.
We had the same experience with Kiki and Herb. We hoped the Broadway reviews would equal more touring. The smart move, which our partner Jonny Reinis drove, was to work with prestigous not for profits, so the show played Boston’s Huntington, San Francisco’s A.C.T. and, next year, DC’s Arena.
