Since Covid, has any production reported recoupment?
It feels like producers aren't announcing it anymore. I think that's very classy, but as someone who loves to know financial information about Broadway...I'm tacky and want to know!

I'm curious about The Pulitzer winner being about"American life." Is that really how they judge it? I am My Own Wife has nothing to do with American life. The entire play takes place in Berlin.

Honest question for people smarter than me on this board. How many covers is normal for a Broadway show of this size? (Is cover the right word? I see cover, understudy, and alternate thrown around. Do they mean different things?)
Looking at the website for Six it looks like 6 principals (obviously) and 5 alternates.
Looking at the website A Strange Loop has 7 principles and 5 alternates.

The unkindness of all of this
My god
I love Broadway so much
If someone is sick, trust them. There are so many awful examples of people saying they are sick and the crowd not believing them.

Also agree that word of mouth out of town probably isn't worth $5 million. SLIH is a bad case study for what I'm trying to say since it was always going to appeal to an older demographic. (Kpop is pr

I always wondered why Some Like It Hot opened cold on Broadway.
The obvious reason to open out of town is that the creative team sees it with an audience, receives reviews, and then has time to tinker. I really think another pass at the script and a few new songs could kick this show into high gear.
But I wonder if nowadays it's almost more important to open out of town for marketing/advertising reasons. I'm really curious about people's opinions about
