Not a real production. This was something being filmed for a show on one of the streaming services. 

You answered your own question. 

"They tried bringing Broadway to Vegas with heavy hitters like: The Producers, Spamalot, Hairspray, The Lion King, Avenue Q and The Phantom etc, but all went the same way and flopped."

Sutton Ross said: "You using theallegedly is deeply disgusting. She was stalked and harassed. We believe women here. Period."

"Stalked" and "harassed" are both legal conclusions, .so "alleged" is the appropriate term. (Though not really necessary in a lady conversation).

Foreigners aren't coming over this summer. Europeans and Canadians aren't traveling to the US this summer. Maybe Asians are, haven't seen numbers on them, but it's a drastic plunge that likely doesn't aide in any struggling shows."

You would be wrong - as someone who works at a long running Broadway show - 60% of the crowd are tourists from Europe & Canada , most people do not care the least about Trump andpolitics - I’m in the real world - it’s all tourists - same as always and it’s almost end of June - still waiting for what The View told me to come true, again normal people do not care about politics , they are here . I speak to them , nobody is talking about the things MSMBC told you they care about"

What an obnoxious post filled with lies. I could post a lot of links but I’m not doing your homework for you. I suggest you google “foreign tourists avoid NYC” and you will see all the many news stories about this."

Ok you can keep the articles - I’m working in the industry 6 days a week - I speak to them- nobody cares about what Trump said about Canada or France or whatever - when my show collapses because Trump scaredaway tourists - I’ll be glad to say I was wrong - but until then - you can live in your bubble of conservatives, MAGA, liberals, progressives- when in the real world - most people do not care - unless there is an economic collapse - they will be here and seeing shows , the average person does not breathe WaPo articles , Fox News , NPR etc - still waiting to meet a tourist who cares about Trump lol - try meeting actual humans instead of soaking in doom and gloom media - again I work at. a tourist heavy show - 60% of the audience are foreign- you don’t want to accept it, because some article from The Guardian or The Times told you it’sdoomsday- everyone is boycotting the dumb Orange man and the states , it’s not happening yet- would you be happier if it was ? You want us out of work to satisfy your political obsession ?"

Hun, you can keep saying the same thing over and over but repetition does not make it true. NYC tourism from international locations is wayyyy down. I guess I do have to do your homework for you after all. It’s okay to be wrong. Just admit it (or don’t) and move on. The doubling down of inaccurate info is not helpful.

Again articles making predictions which are not panning out yet- panic media not seeped in reality - get back when you work 19 years solid in a Broadway house - you can cling to the articles - strange Broadway box office is actually up - so repeat after me - doomsday articles are not panning out - notice the key word in every article - predict- predict, do you understand? I predicted the Knicks would win the championship, please don’t come out me with “ predictions” my reading level is quite high - predictions vs reality - the predictions are not happening yet - I’ll let you know when everyone boycotts America over the dumb president - when the actual numbers are released we shall see if the predictions happened- where I work it’s robust business of foreign tourists""

Does it hurt to be so ignorant?

Clearly, you do.

TotallyEffed said: "It's pretty blink and you'll miss it on stage. The only memorable part of that scene is that glorious sea foam green gown which barely has any time on stage to be admired."

Exactly. It's not even a scene, it's basically just a transition tying "Wicked Witch of the East" to the scene where Elphaba confronts the Wizard.

I doubt it. Paramount is probably the biggest hurdle in filming any production of this show. 

bear88 said: "The Curran has 1,667 capacity. A lot larger than its Broadway house but smaller than most of the places it will play."

I don't know that 45 more seats would be considered "a lot larger."

Im really curious how the tour looks, since the stage required a few traps. All the photos on the website are from the Broadway production.

No. The police are going to clear the streets to make sure only theater professionals can see it.

I don't know about giving to the the actors/crew, but he definitely gave each member of the FOH staff a 4-figure check. (Less than $10K, but more than $1K).

It's easy to forget that The Book of Mormon offered discount codes. It had such a hugely positive word-of-mouth after it's first preview, sales surged, and by the fourth preview the had rescinded the discount code.

And as was said by another poster, Matt Stone and Trey Parker were a well-known brand.

Teeth didn't have anywhere near that response.
