It's unfortunate that The Visit didn't win any Tony Awards. I read today that they have posted their closing notice. Too bad. It's a very dark show but hypnotic, engrossing and very entertaining. The attendance has been poor. I guess it simply couldn't find an audience. At least the score will be preserved with an Original Cast CD.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that at least it could won the Tony for Best Original Score, but deep down I knew it wouldn't. Like you said Harry, at least there's a cast recording.
