Opera Shows In London
What does this sentence mean?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_theatre – here’s the link where you can find the whole text if you want to.
The phrase you need to focus on is ” Despite some of its startling themes—miscegenation among them—the original production ran a total of 572 (or 575, depending on the source) performances. Still, Broadway runs lagged behind London’s in general. By way of comparison, in 1920, The Beggar’s Opera began an astonishing run of 1,463 performances at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith, England. ”
My question is: “Still, Broadway runs lagged behind London’s in general” .It can be concluded from this sentence that:
A)There were more shows on Broadway
B)There were more shows in London
C)The quality of Broadway performances left a lot to be desired
D)Broadway performances were more trivial
E)More people went to watch musicals on Broadway.
Thanks a lot!
“Broadway runs lagged behind London’s” in the context that you have given clearly means B.

The Phantom of the Opera (Original 1986 London Cast) $18.46 What’s left to be said about Andrew Lloyd Webber’s adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera a decade after its premiere? That it’s maddeningly ubiquitous? A stitch-up of various themes shoplifted from the Italian operatic repertoire? A critic-proof crowd pleaser that’s probably being staged somewhere in the world as you read this? A megahit that will likely outlive Titanic in the pop-culture pantheo… |
