So Many Reasons the Tupac Shakur Broadway Musical Failed - Businessweek

Yet it died swiftly after just 17 previews and 38 performances. So why were so few people willing to take the time to hear Holler?

The premature demise of a new original musical in the West End is never a great cause for celebration, even if you're one of those who believe that Andrew Lloyd Webber, so dominant for decades, deserves taking down a peg or two.
