A Brief Encounter with Broadway Brilliance
Now, before you start planning your revenge on the producers, let's give the show its due. It was a flashy, energetic production with some seriously catchy tunes. The set was a marvel of engineering, and the cast was undeniably talented. But sometimes, even the brightest stars burn out quickly.
Why So Short? A Million Dollar Question
So, what happened? Did aliens abduct the entire cast? Did a rogue pigeon cause a stage collapse? Sadly, no.

- How to enjoy the experience: Remember, it's about the magic of live theater, not just the show itself.
