HELL’S KITCHEN To Close - Feb 22, 2026

ALL MY SONS seems to want the Belasco next season, and I don't think they're getting that house.

Same rumor popped up on the Reddit thread. Either the same person or there’s something to it. It does seemodd though.

Didn’t see this deleted one but the Reddit one said it blocked another show.

Not the same person! There does seem

Rumors are flying that this was supposed to have recently closed by now, but an investor swooped in and kept the show open another month-plus, making it nearly impossible for another title to snag the Shubert for the spring.

23 previews and 767 regular performances.

$22 million investment was not recouped, but they are 60% of the way there and future productions could push it into profitability, per Paulson.

Interesting that Kelsie has not announced a departure date yet, so not quite a wholesale change this time around.

What a thrill finally catching this live tonight. What is there to say that hasn't already been said?

This was a near-perfect night of theatre, a huge cast and orchestra anchored by a better-than-ever Joshua Henry, who completely won me over with *those* five words. That score! The timely message with a capital TM!

I didn't feel like I missed anything without Shaina or Tabitha. Julie Benko has slid in to Goldman beautifully not even a week in. Brav

This is going to set a new standard for Broadway casting choices and ticket prices, for better or worse.

Ghee as Hermes is outstanding. Don't know much about Dourdan or Moreno.

This is far, far down the line but the production apparently wants the Jacobs at some point in 2028 when this transfers. THE OUTSIDERS started a slow descent in its grosses last summer but it’s still in okay shape at the moment.

Besides Shaina, of course, have all the leads and principals been in lately?


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 1/11/26

I will say I'm encouraged by a lot of these seating capacities despite the big winter drop-off.

Hopefully this leads to mostly-full houses for Broadway Week.

The names they got weren't quite as big as the ones that featured in ALL IN. With the right faces this easily makes $1-2 million a week.

Hello, dead of winter. Numbers dropped dramatically but they're 7% higher from this time last year.

Happy trails to Megan Hilty and Jim Gaffigan. 

ALADDIN, shockingly, with our lowest ATP of the week. 

LIBERATION seems to be finishing up strong!
