Maybe they'll have some sort of standby/cancellation line. If not, I'm sorry you missed the tickets

Beaches is no longer on TDF. Is this good or bad?

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/12/26

It may dip and dive and be slow but theater is not going to die. There will always be things in the pipeline and people willing to pay, and when they're not, they drop some starry revival or show and it goes right back up again. It's not always going to be recoupments and higher than ever grosses. I can't see a world in which all Broadway theaters close because people don't see shows anymore. I just don't.

Those who know these shows, is it worth subscribing? I can't decide. 


Cast Replacements

Observation said: "Just did a google search and found they recouped in 2021, can't say I'm surprised given the small cast and weekly running costs can't be too much.

If this were to close, I'd say it had a very healthy run, something everyone should be very proud of. Wondering if maybe if those who wanted to see this have seen it by now whether in NYC or at a tour stop near them. Would an off-broadway transfer make sense? Or just continue running those tour

It was wrong of me to imply that the cast is not as important as the writers. I apologize for that.

With that out of the way - do you not think it is absolutely crazy that Broadway producers sometimes (often, it seems) expect writers to work for free?

I think it's more cr

At this rate, I'm beginning to considerwhether this is gearing up to be the final year for SIX on Broadway.

I think when they start stunt casting, it is concerning. But it has had a healthy run if this is the final year

Theater is not dying or dead. You can't expect every season to full of smash hits. How exactly do you expect to change the business model?

Paddington at the Al Hirschfeld

darquegk said: "I've said before, I'd like to see this show be successful. But if I were a big producer instead of an out of town small fry, I'd be wary: if shows often make back some of their money on the road or in licensing, how do you tour or license a show so dependent on a high-intensity special effect like this? Will regionals and schools still want to pay up to do Paddington when it's a high school freshman in a hat with ears, instead of a three-person animatr


Ragtime Tour? PBS Filming?

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Call_me_jorge said: "There’s some major commercial producers behind the Ragtimerevival, aside from LCT. I’d bet they would love to tour this."

Yes, and a tour and/or London production is basically the only way they could make some real money, since they'll just earn a royalty from the New York production. So I think a tour is almost certain...a good booker should have no trouble getting them at leas


Ragtime Tour? PBS Filming?
 Apr 10 2026, 01:19:01 PM

It's certainly possible but not every acclaimed revival has to go on tour. If it does I could see maybe a mini-tour a la Into the Woods but no guarantees on casting.

Jess, at least you have Vosk on the Street. You’re incredibly talented (one of the best we have on Broadway, as far as I’m concerned) and you’ll bounce back quickly.

I'm confused as to why

This is really ridiculous, IMO. Why do a show that has a callout culture ingrained in it that you don'
