They're thinking about next holiday season before the spring 2027 tour launch.

Bottom line is shows are super expensive to mount and run, and in my experience, audiences that can still afford to see them are playing it safe, they'd rather pay the hefty ticket prices for a pre-COVID familiar favorite or mainstay if not a MAJOR celebrity (which Kristin is most certainly not).
It's not worth it anymore to take a chance on something new without a significant discount or comp, it doesn't matter how good or bad a prod

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 12/7/25 Dec 9
2025, 02:01:57 PM
Coming off a sturdy Thanksgiving holiday, most shows predictably dropped. Still, we've just crossed the billion-dollar threshold in total gross this season.
Happy trails to "Mama Cheryl" Porter, who finished up a spirited run in & JULIET on Sunday.
As expected, JUST IN TIME jumps right back up with a healthy Groff, and HAMILTON now trails HARRY POTTER without Odom.
Impressive for MARJORIE PRIME to rise last week with all the press comps + low avera

DTLI Consensus: The 96-year old June Squibb feels very much in her Prime in this well-acted and prescient AI-themed play making a long-awaited Broadway bow.
9 positive (including the NYT), 5 mixed.

TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK) Reviews Dec 7

Timon3 said: "So this will likely get nominated for a Tony it has decent reviews, including a rave from the NYT, has Two Strangers now done enough to get on the tour circuit? Say it was and played Chicago, the show would be lost in the Oriental and Cadillac Palace, where the CITB theatre would be better or the Water Tower but smaller the theatre the lower the ticket gross?"
Perhaps it runs at Chicago Shakespeare Theater? McCollum has come there before.

Whoa, SATURDAY CHURCH is transferring?
If not, I’d love to see them play Mama Morton.

Ouch. Sounds a lot worse than simply a bruised ego.
Prayers up.

The current state of affairs on Bway is seriously horrific. What the hell will it take for the tides to turn? Sigh."
Hopefully it’s just a “this season” thing. If we get less and less Bway musicals for years to come, I’d worry.
Or am I being too optimistic?

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/30/25 Dec 2

Turkey Week - salivate at your leisure.
Happy trails to Leslie Odom, Jr. (those HAMILTON numbers!), Jessica Vosk, Durrell "Tank" Babbs, and Phillip Johnson Richardson.
Interesting that ART's numbers went down with just a few weeks to go, even with an extra performance. Did any of the actors miss at least one show?
JUST IN TIME holds relatively firm, even with Groff missing 4+ performances. I was expecting a total below seven figures.
