chronic unrequited polyamory

"New authors are not getting a chance to be heard, for the most part. Shows are so expensive to produce that producers only want to do what you call ‘jukebox musicals,’ musicals with familiar scores where the audience is humming the tune as they come into the theatre, or musicals that have the built-in name value like Spider-Man. Any kind of original stuff unfortunately has to come from Off-Broadway or regional theatre. And it’s happened a few times—there’s been Spring Awakening, Next to Normal, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. These are pieces that, whether you like them or not, are by young writers—and by young I’m not talking about age, I’m talking about new writers who are experimenting and trying different things, and shaping musical theatre the way me and my generation did."
