Not a bunch of room for a bump.  This is a show that is at 98%-100% weekly.  Solid ticket prices already.  

Predicting some very dark times ahead on Broadway.  The downturn is well underway already, and things aren't getting better anytime soon.  

Holy smokes.  That is pretty brutal.  Chicago at 55%?!?!?  Yikes.  

I have been paying for the Mezzanine App for a few years.  I really like it and its ease of use.  It is a big more polished than this, but Mezzanine comes at a cost of $15 a year.

That was fun."

Any insights on how to get on the mailing lists for discount codes?  I am a semi-frequent Broadway visitor and have bought from the venues, from TKTS, from Ticketmaster, from re-sale sites, etc... but I haven't ever gotten a mailer.

National tour launches September 2026 in Baltimore — very curious to see how all the technical elements tailor-made for the Broadway run will translate."

Baltimore continues to be a favorite launch point for tours.  The Maryland legislators have given huge tax breaks for the arts, making it much cheaper than many spots.  Close enough to NYC to get that connection.

Happy to see Suffs and Outsiders especially! Intrigued by Clue (though I don't remember seeing it before so surprised it's part of Encores)."

Great lineup!!!!  You guys are lucky.  

 

I just saw the Clue on tour a few months ago and loved it.  But I had never seen the movie nor the show, so I was going in blind.  I found it to be very fun and very funny.  It gets mixed reviews, but I will say I was pleasantly surprised by it.  I expected it to be a throw-away filler show for subscribers, but I will say I put it up higher on my comedy list than Book of Mormon.

I know a lot of people do not like Lin, but a few weeks ago I heard about his 2024 re-imagining of the 1979 movie THE WARRIORS as a musical where the WARRIORS are an all female gang, so I went to Spotify to listen to the album. I've been playing it for weeks and I think it's fantastic. I hope it becomes a Broadway show or a movie.

In case anyone hasn't heard it, here's the link:

MANY more people love/admire/like Lin than not.  I think there is a very loud minority that complain on him ... but his work is pretty widely embraced and enjoyed.  I certainly love most of his stuff.

Still says "postponed indefinitely."  So, fingers crossed for the 2026-2027 season.
