The problem with Souzatka was to begin with it's name- which meant nothing to the average theatregoer and  the lack of a major star name in the title role that people would want to see combined with outrageously high ticket prices . The word of mouth during it's preview period was poor (but not as dreadful as The Bodyguard) and solidified to a collective meh! once the reviews came out. Sadly a lot of great talent was wasted on a mishmash storyline and a mediocre score.
