Rudolf just got it's big formal debut in Vienna, which has apparently been a horrific flop by all standards, to the point of not even a third of tickets selling out, even though desperation is making them release it on DVD.

Plus, throwing Rudolf into a random brothel...
I'm afraid Wildhorn does very little for me, and what he does do needs to be processed by people who are very good, which is the reason I finally liked his Pimpernel when Touko and Co. did it, after loathing the Broadway production for years.
