There might also be a clue in this quote:
I had read Arthur Ransome quite a bit at prep school, but only because it was something I was supposed to do, like running around games fields and eating scrambled egg made out of a powder.
He certainly wasn't predisposed to like Ransome-based material.
One review isn't a statistic, but it would be interesting to know if the appeal of the musical is more that it is Ransome, than it is a good show in its own right.
