Just like Broadway

I'm involved with a local theatrical production of a super Christianized version of A Christmas Carol. This church is awesome. They do things right. They spend money to ensure it's a high-quality show. The set is amazing, the costumes are terrific, the music is super. It's a very, very good production and I'm priviledged to be a part of it.

However...

on more than one occasion now, cast members have shared with the entire cast and crew that friends/family have commented about how the show is 'Broadway quality' or 'just like Broadway' or 'it could be on Broadway'

I, like everyone, appreciate the compliments and positive feedback, but I'm troubled. I'm desperate to get to NYC to see a show or two because apparently the quality of productions there has plummeted.

We have an excellent show...the only way anyone on the cast would come close to a Broadway show is if they bought a ticket. That's not a slam on our cast, it's a compliment and a bow to the respect I have for the ridiculously high standard I've seen met in every Broadway show I've seen.

Tell us we have a great show, let us know you enjoyed it, tell me it's the best show in town and I wouldn't argue...then take a trip to NYC and see something...anything...you'll see what I'm talking about.
