At the Candide’s artist talk at The Goodman Theatre with my parents! Fascinating stuff - as you may know, Candide is adapted from the 1759 novella by Voltaire - and apparently, according to the speaker, “one of the biggest failures in Broadway history,” because “satire is what closes Saturday night.”
[Update: after seeing the production, this rendition of the satire won’t close any night!]
