I've Black Swan is looking at a transfer but likely not this season. Carly Rae Jepsen's 10 Things I Hate About You is also coming in next year with an announcement in the near future, but I've heard it's aiming for early next season.

Rocky is now out of the period where the majority of its audiences were Roundabout subscribers, which created artificial scarcity of tickets and created the appearance of massive demand.

Labor costs tend to be one of the most transparent costs of a production by virtue of the fact they're in collectively bargained contracts that most people in the industry have easy access to. The other costs are not transparent at all, from rents to rights to fabrication costs. Which is why it is wild to me that major reporting doesn't dig into them.The theater owners are more than mere landlords, though. If they were just charging rent, that would be one thing. But they take cuts of box off...

Wicked had the highest weekly gross in Broadway history thanks to the first film. They did help, but now the movies are out of theaters and out of the public imagination.

Oh wow! This will be a must-see. I’m surprised it’s in their off-Broadway space.

It’s all immaterial. It seems this transfer put a lot of stress on the people involved and it has manifested in a lot of hurt feelings and ill will that ultimately won’t mean anything to anyone other than those involved. People need to keep a diary instead of throwing their feelings up onto social media.

The average ticket throughout its run was over $100 (no idea what the median price was, which would be helpful to figure out exactly what people were spending without higher prices distorting it) and the average capacity was over 90%, numbers that, not long ago, would have been a recipe for a fairly successful run. Not necessarily a blockbuster destined for years and years, but a solid run that would have likely recouped or at least come much closer to it. That's the issue and it isn't unique...

So this has very little meaningful difference from Ellen's Stardust and it is also a block away from it? Alright.

There were no speeches at curtain call. Sydney Harcourt shared on IG he’d be going to the Eagle post-show; he skipped out on celebrating with the cast, creatives, and crew at their closing party.

The whole "the bullet" stuff pre-dates that interview and seems fan-pushed. It as noticed as early as 2016 but really took off when the pro-shot came out and fans were really digging into it. DeBose was just hopping on the bandwagon because... again, why not?

I remain surprised that Schmigadoon was deemed eligible and even more surprised that voters went for it. I guess it speaks to how weak the support for the other scores was this year.

willep said: "Drag Race winners don't know they've won until they watch the episode on TV with the rest of the world? That's crazy."Drag Race is one of the most leaky TV shows out there. Episode by episode outcomes usually leak months in advance. even down to what challenges are runway themes, and lip sync songs. Basically the only thing they've been able to stop leaking is the winner thanks to their strategy of shooting multiple outcomes. It's kind of wild that they've never been able to cur...

I really cannot imagine this not being eligible for Best Score. I had always understood the score to be a Broadway-bound property with the concept album as a way to drive interest and development.

The bullet is literally her being lifted for 30 seconds in the show, it is nothing else. It is part of the choreography, not a designated role in the show."I can't find any indication that DeBose is responsible for the track gaining that name or its notoriety. Ensemble tracks often get informal names based on what they do a...

ACL2006 said: "It's shocking DeBose hasn't gotten back into theater or Broadway. Her career has gone nowhere since WSS. And she was a terrible host of the Tony Awards. Surprised she hasn't tried to play Velma on Broadway or returned to Hamilton."She was in Baker’s Wife this past season and this thread is about her workshopping a new production of Charity, so clearly she is getting back into theater.

Ragtime will be touring and that’s where the potential for recoupment and potentially profit will come in for investors.But yes- the finances involved here are why you don’t see a lot of successful nonprofit productions become open-ended or with extensive extensions. Rocky Horror’s continued success with its extensions into next year remain to be seen; it wouldn’t be the first time Roundabout has misjudged something like this.
