In other news Trump caught a performance of Wicked at the Kennedy Centre, he is conflicted whether to buy the Emerald City so he can ‘drill baby drill’ or slap on 25% income duties or just simply deport Elphaba there.

Long gap between Atlanta and Minneapolis, but not big enough to fit in another stop, given the time to load in/out.

This is confirmed. The Philip tour closes in Las Vegas on June 1.
I also see the Moulin Rouge tourclosing this summer. It feels like it has run its course and I thinkwe would have heard of at least one engagement for next season at this point."

Yes if you were someone that came in by subway and got cheap tickets off the booth, then yes $10 bucks would make a big difference.
There is a big difference between the two."

I agree, subscribers want to see a Broadway show, not that, a cheap and tacky infill.
I found Los Angeles to be a good barometer for tours, with the big shows going to the Pantanges and the intimate ones going to the Almanson. So could see The Great Gatsby, Hell’s Kitchen and Water for Elephants going into the Pantanges and Tommy, Outsiders and The Notebook

Jesse Green: They Were Hits in London. Then They Got Smacked in New York. Jan 12
2025, 07:09:05 PM
There has always been unspoken competition in any of the arts between London and New York, hence why you get the completely unexpected flops in both cities. With both cities dismissive of any imports, so really a bit jingoistic.. However a show can be so good it transcends any criticism thinking Six, Matilda and Billy Elliot on Broadway and Hairspray, Book of Mormon and Hamilton in the West End. That unspoken competition is also a force for good and sets the benchmark very high and

Also Broward has a large amount of people that comes down from Boston/New York People going/coming off cruises so would thought that Miami area could have as big theatre audience as San Francisco.
As with Las Vegas/Orlando I guess the tours I watched by predominantly local residence and may get the odd person on vacation. As we have seen Broadway on the strip was a failure. If the tours could attract a hybrid of people on vacation and local residence then it might be possible

Would this sell well in Orlando? Are people on vacation happy/afford to put hundreds of dollars down for tickets, with the other expenses? Just wondering as Florida is one of the largest states population wise and seems very wealthy and affluent, with a lot of retirees - however national tours only seem to do a week then

Do we think that Hamilton will still have 2 companies on the road?
Where will Harry Potter go if it continues with its long sit downs? Could it be Boston or back to San Francisco and Toronto or maybe Cleveland? Cannot think of any other cities that would sustain a long sit down?

Oh, it's time to start givin' a Tony tribute to Stephen Schwartz! Dec 3
2024, 08:49:16 PM
He deserves some love from the Tony committee. For no ther reason the millions he has raised that enables the Tony Committee in the first place and also the thousands of jobs he has created in New York and up and down the country. This is saying from a person that isn’t especially a Wicked fan.

Thinking the small American cities need 5-6 shows to make up a subscription package. The bigger cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago need more than that.
As there is no real complexity to the staging, as there is not real any, do we think that Sunset Boulevard could be going out next season, or maybe Cabaret, if they can get it to work in a Proscenium theatre?
