Broadway needs to open the doors earlier
 Feb 5 2026, 10:59:05 AM

I do enjoy shows with big lobbies with extra photo ops, props, signage, special drinks, extra food options, etc. Harry Potter has done this well.  Lion King has some of it.  I think many shows .. especially more headliners like Wicked or Hamilton ... could extract more money from our pockets by getting us into the pre-show area earlier for such extra attractions.

Answering myself ... found a quote that pretty much states it is done in June. Lindsay Heather Pearce said "until we close in June."

Ambitious tour for Les Mis from 2022-2026, but it has not appeared on any of the 2026-2027 announcements yet.  Is the tour hanging it up with its Boston stop in June 2026?

It keep chugging along to huge crowds.  I know it is popular in High Schools and regional/local productions, and the National tour just keeps selling tickets in droves.  It is indeed a funny show.  Wide appeal from all ages.  Think it is getting good word of mouth.

Gatsby is seen with an outstretched arm, in his suit ... all the spotlights are glowing bright white upon him, as he is staring off toward the Green light.


Rumor. New wicked musical in works.

More than 20 years after Wicked first opened, composer Stephen Schwartz says he’s still not finished with the world of Oz. 

He’s confirmed he’s working with longtime collaborator Winnie Holzman on a possible new musical based on L Frank Baum’s Oz books, this time focused on Princess Ozma. 

Schwartz says the idea has been in development for a couple of years and that Universal is “very interested,” adding that they’re now seeing

Gatsby opened it's US National Tour this weekend in Baltimore.  Sales were solid for the weekend shows, but LuckySeat was used to fill-in sluggish sales for the shows coming this week for the weekdays.  Think that is telling that the originating tour stop for the show didn't sell out. especially considering that Baltimore has a renown strong subscription base that sells most of the tickets via subscription.  Just not the buzz to sell tickets, I guess.

Peoria, Illinois ... first sighting of Waitress that I've seen. Just a weekend stop in Peoria, so that is almost certainly a non eq show.

The Waitress US tour is officially happening this fall.

 The new tour has been confirmed as part of the show’s 10th anniversary celebrations, with the first announced stop set for Peoria, Illinois in October.

More dates and casting are still being kept quiet for now, but the news comes after Sara Bareilles and Diane Paulus reunited to mark the milestone.

 Fans can expect more details soon as the beloved musical prepares to head back out on the road.


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 1/25/26

Broadway Week ... even though it is 3 weeks long ... of 2 for 1 tickets always brings the $$ numbers down.  Great time to visit if you're not afraid of the weather.  Hotels are cheaper, Broadway tickets are cheaper, and crowds low.

Jersey Boys is hitting the road again with a big 20th anniversary tour across North America starting this September. 

The hit musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons will be staged by the original Broadway creative team, bringing the same look, sound and feel fans remember. 

Cities, cast, and tickets are coming later, but the tour adds to a huge legacy that includes major awards, millions of fans worldwide, and a long run in New York.

tacotheatrelover said: "Is the Moulin Rouge tour closing after this season?"

It has not yet appeared on any of the releases thus far, but they have all been larger venues like Baltimore and Dallas. It has been an equity tour ... I could see a world where it drops to non-equity and starts hitting the smaller town venues?!?  But nothing indicates that yet.
