Yeah. And believe it or not, that was it wasn't like an amateurish production. It was directed by Terry Hands, who ran the Royal Shakespeare Company for 13 years and was choreographed by Debbie Allen. So it was it was a big money thing that just was sounds like not a very good idea.

Yeah. I mean, that had all the right ingredients to Broadway legend and film director Julie Taymor, who directed The Lion King on Broadway. They got Bono and the Edge to write the music.

Yeah. And I've been to some previews. I saw Sarah Jessica Parker and Broderick do the which one was it? The Neil Simon one a couple of years ago. And that was in previews.

Yeah, that would be my guess. I'm not sure how that works. But I know it's always I'm not sure if it's like movies. I know movies sometimes they won't let the critics see it before it's released. And that always means it stinks. Yeah. So I'm not sure if Broadway does that or not, actually.

I've seen quite a few in recent years, and I'll be going to more and more. So maybe we'll revisit this in 10 years, and I'll be more up to speed.
