Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 1/4/26
 Jan 6 2026, 07:14:53 PM

Stranger Things has spent most of the year not hitting or just barely hitting its weekly operating costs. It's of course gotten a massive boost over the last five weeks thanks to the series finale and the holiday, but there's really no evidence yet that will sustain- the series is done and it's not exactly a Harry Potter-level generational touchstone. It cost at least 20 million to mount (likely more- maybe much more) and it costs a fortune to run, on top of its other expenses lik

The latter is arguably why this season doesn't have a ton of new musicals coming in. Lack of available venues due to how well a majority of productions are currently doing commerically.

I suspect it is due more to the number of major fl

This is the first winter in a while in which nothing really seems in imminent danger of closing before spring. Interesting that in a season in which a lot of focus is on the lack of new musicals, Broadway as whole seems to be doing very well.

Your ridiculous, baseless fearmongering got totally discredited so you now have to move the goalposts to ten years out? Get lost.

But but but it was going to destroy Broadway! People were going to stop coming to NYC! We were supposed to be doomed

How kind of the board’s sunshine boys to give Sutton Ross rent-free residence in their heads. 


OFFICIAL: Lane/Metcalf DEATH OF A SALESMAN to open at Winter Garden, March 2026
 Jan 5 2026, 11:07:27 AM

Glad to see that reasonable ticket prices are available, by today’s standards at least. But Rudin et al are savvy enough to know that Lane and Metcalf cannot command George Clooney or Denzel Washington prices, even if they are, imo, superior stage performers. 


Just in Time - Matt Morrison?

RippedMan said: "But wasn’t he correct about the Beached / Titanique? So might be right just wrong time line."

But a number of members on this board also had that information. Productions are easier to accurately leak because they require more people to be aware of them for longer periods of time- creatives, marketing, press, casting, GMs, investors, etc.

Well, Doyle has publicly stated he dropped out of the Sinatra project due to delays, so he can't be too upset if it moves forward with Jordan or anyone else (which... massive grain of salt, considering the source).


The Baker’s Wife cast album?

You can do a reverse image search through Google. That’s from the Bronx Tale recording session from nine years ago. Why would you even share that?

The roof railing back when School of Rock was there. 


Hiddleston & Atwater Much Ado @ the Winter Garden
 Jan 2 2026, 06:58:25 PM

I don’t recall the Winter Garden having any kind of exterior balcony. It used to have a kind of cupola on the roof many years ago, but it’s long gone. 
 

Edit: actually, before there was the big billboard marquee, there was a railing in front of the roof. That could work.

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "As the S.O. said, it is allegedly playing the WG after SALESMAN and before EVITA — not immediatelyafter Mamma Mia.

If you’re gonna share his rumors, at least get what he says right!
"

So this would start in July at the earliest, run through the fall or winter and Evita would likely come in the spring.

You keep repeating he has a case without actually detailing how or why. Please, for once, actually back up your assertions. 


Trump calls it the Trump Kennedy Center

Zeppie2022 said: """More Kennedy Center Performances Are Canceled After Trump’s Renaming

A dance company withdrew from two performances next year, and the arts center’s website says two New Year’s Eve jazz concerts have been canceled."

So are you glad the Kenney Center is losing millions in revenue and employees are losing income because you hate a name change that will at most last a couple of years. Not disagreeing that rename

It has to make between 500-600k to break even, so it’s been… a little profitable. It’s making less profit than a lot of other shows ru


London Loved It/New York Hated It

I don’t think it’s trash exactly but I found it extraordinarily underwhelming when I saw it a couple weeks after its Tony wins. Matilda was just the superior show and production in every way.

Did All Out even invite critics this time?

And for the record, PH’s general rush tickets are even cheaper than this discount code. 
 

edit: to say nothing of the fact that it’s an incredible coincidence that the anti-DEI guy just so happened to buy tickets for the BIPOC-focused night, out of all the nights of the run.
