@hipradermatthews61232 жыл бұрын
Apparently the reason was that because the show had such a huge cast because of the chorus equity wouldn’t pay for the actors. So instead of the writers having less members they decided that it was more important for the show to have the large cats for the story. That’s why we don’t have so many huge ensembles in musicals anymore like 42nd street because actors are now finally getting paid living wages professionally. So it was more of an artistic choice to keep the shows integrity. Not good or bad just a choice.

@@FlowersInHisHair yes your right. I’m not sure of all the details really there’s not much out there (no pun intended). But regardless I believe the story holds true perhaps it wasn’t equity per se but some entity wasn’t willing to pay all of those people so the creatives didn’t put it on Broadway.

I WISH it would have moved to Broadway, but I guess Michael going on to be nominated for a Tony as a director the following season (2016) is as good a consolation as any. Super deserving dude.

@jacobbelow41365 жыл бұрын
The official reason for Disney not bringing the show to Broadway, sad though as it is, is namely because they couldn't pay the Union enough to include the choir. In short, Alan Menken said the only way he could get it onto Broadway was if he omitted the choir. I think we can all agree that would mean losing apretty essential part of the score.
@AStageForTheKingdom4 жыл бұрын
@@jacobbelow4136 Honestly though, I feel like they could totally do it without the choir as long as they have a strong cast with 20 or so ensemble actors that have powerful choral voices. That would give them a total of around 30 singers total, which is probably enough to pull off the huge choral sound it needs. I've been in the choir for this show for one production, and I'd say it's totally doable without an official choir as long as they have a cast of around 30. That would still be fairly expensive for a Broadway show, but not as bad as having to pay both a choir and a cast (for a total of around 50-60 voices).
@zeldaglitchgamer4 жыл бұрын
@@jacobbelow4136 that's such BS on part of Disney. They have produced shows much larger and more expensive than Hunchback. They can afford to do the show with or without a choir. Besides, they could easily make that money back. So...wanna try again Disney?
