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 It had such a hugely positive word-of-mouth after it's first preview, sales surged, and by the fourth preview the had rescinded the discount code.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. 

Get a job as a journalist.

Isn't she also the credited designer of this "new" production as well? So she is getting paid. Even if she isn't, someone *is* getting paid for the designs. They aren't free.

You've clearly not sat through the torturous crime against humanity that is The Notebook.

Why? The program is simply there to give you info about the production you are seeing (and advertise crap you don't need). Why does it matter which publisher prints them?

No star and no mainstream appeal. This will close by the Tonys or right after.

I was told it is Covid

Broadway Flash said: "What the latest on the Schoenfeld?"

Buena Vista Social Club. Previews will begin in late February.

I personally don't foresee a long run for this. 

While it's true that Broadway contracts are typically 1 year, that clock generally starts on the first day of rehearsal, not the first performance. 

McCollum is refusing to close the show. Dec. 15 is the latest it can close in order to turnaround the theater for its next tenant.

Would tgat even work in a Broadway house that isn't Circle in the Square?

EDSOSLO858 said: "The Armpits rumor is Buena Vista Social Club, but we will see."

There is no mainstream Broadway audience for this show. Not even if they had a bankable star. It screams flop.

RippedMan said: "Broadway is different. This will do well on tour."

True I guess. Broadway doesn't have subscriptions to force people to see this manipulative garbage.

Alex Kulak2 said: "This show is absolutely going to print money on tour."

They can't even get people to buy tickets on Broadway.

What's so interesting about her life that warrants a musical based on it?
