Fred Mason said: "Landlords don’t owe anybody anything. The only recourse producers have is to stop producing or to build their own theaters. Landlordsusually get a percentage of the box office which means they also have skin in the game, it’s not a rental fee adding to the running cost. Pointing fingers at them is a little bit of a scapegoat for much deeper issues like lack of audience interest."I think people want to be kind to productions and not mention lack of interest when they mention ...

Even with lower tickets prices, that does not ever guarantee an audience. Sure, maybe for the first few months. But that's not sustainable in the long run. So I'm not sure what the solution is either.

SteveSanders said: "I just browsed through my 20+ years of Telecharge orders. It was only 10 or 15 years ago when advance discount codes were readily available for so many shows, dynamic pricing had yet to become so commonplace, and premium was usually one subset of center orchestra.You could get great seats for a significant number of shows with starry casts for $100-$150 without much effort. Some random excerpts:$125: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (2020)Center Orchestra Row D$139: The Ferr...

I will not claim to know anything about prices and how much is needed to break even, running costs, etc. But how much do people realistically expect theater tickets to cost? Does anyone have a specific realistic number?

WldKingdomHM said: "The magic was def downtown they lost the hype once it closed.its such an amazing show and it should of won revivaljudging by nextweeks sales yeah its time and lost boys is still running …"Was it necessary to mention Lost Boys? Good grief. Not every show is for every audience. Leave other shows out of this potentially closing

If a mainstay like Phantom closed, isn't it possible that Wicked could close sometime soon? Or would we have things like stunt casting that would come before any possible closing notice

The 19th is also when Khaila Wilcoxon will play her final performance. Maybe they'll either do a full cast change or announce a final cast change and announce a closing

I have two theories.1. they announce an early closing this week and alts take over for Parr this week2. they have a big name up their sleeves for Parr

BrodyFosse123 said: "General public tickets are ALWAYS released days prior. Separate lobby entrance and zero opportunity to go thru the press line or step-n-repeat (aka Red Carpet) without proper credentials (artist press reps handle those details and escort their clients thru all of this)."So do you know someone who attended the opening night performance of Ragtime, since those tickets are ALWAYS released prior? Or The Rocky Horror Show? Cats: The Jellicle Ball? Giant? Since you claim they'r...

Is there any other way to try to get the tickets, or should I just give up and try for a new date? Thanks "Tickets always open up a few days prior. They always keep them offline until they get things sorted out for that night."I wouldn't say always,but sometimes they do.

Does anyone know how I can purchase a membership online if I also have LincTix?

CoffeeBreak said: "CATS will pick up and do well over the summer.Mincemeat will be fine. Two Strangers can run, even on those numbers, over the summer. Titanique is cheaper to run - hopefully the rest of the summer's numbers are stronger for them.& Juliet and Maybe Happy Ending looked to have run their course - with their weekly expenses being high. Lost Boys capacity seeming to decline even if seats become more expensive to counter. They are still barely breaking even, if they are. Good for ...

MaxineElliott said: "I've never seen the movies and have no real connection to Paddington at all. Don't remember ever hearing about the character growing up or seeing the books around. I imagine many Americans feel a similar way, but as a theatre fan if the story, music, is good I don't need a connection. They don't need to Americanize really except I think casting a few Broadway regulars instead of an All British cast would help make more of a connection. But hey no one was familiar with Ope...

Mr. Wormwood said: "While the original cast was of course a draw,I continue to be baffled by people implying this show could have run for years and years if (insert idea here) had happened. This was a pretty decent run for a show like this - a show based on a cult movie that was never going to have themass appeal that long-runners have. Whether Hilty stayed or Simard left, this show was always going to run out of steam sooner than the long-runners currently playing."And an almost two year run...
