People are paying to see a spectacular show. I saw Spider-Man right before it closed and was shocked at the shape it was in. (This is different to me than Les Miz, a show which, if you like it, is not killed by a single traitor.) But more than Miss Saigon needs to be cast carefully - everything needs to be cast carefully. Miss Saigon is the one blockbuster I've always loved, yet it is so dependent on its cast that I have seen one bad star ruin the enterprise entirely. After the former situation, I have left thinking: "Oh, I keep forgetting, I should totally tell to see this." After the latter situation, I have left thinking: "Yeah, the first ten minutes are absolutely amazing, but this really isn't a great show." And, yes, some shows are more casting dependent than others. But I've seen good Scars and I've seen bad Scars. The Lion King is not about the actor playing Scar. begin to believe their show is casting proof. You can't just start having people leave saying: "What was the hype all about?" But, alas, sometimes producers, casting people, directors, etc. No matter how long a show is running, you need word-of-mouth.
This all seems obvious - the people behind every show want tremendous audience reaction.
