Profile for Mr. Wormwood

It does feel like the fan backlash to the long breaks for shows like Stranger Things, Severance, The Last of Us, etc is helping move things along for some shows. The Bear, The Pitt, Only Murders, Hacks, etc. All acclaimed streaming shows that are on a yearly release schedule (of course Broadcast has been the whole time but most of the zeitgeist shows are on streaming). I think TV is moving back in that direction broadly speaking but it's always going to be hard for the real heavy effects

I don't think that

Despite the narrative on here that NYC is a ghost town at 4th of July, these grosses are fine for the most part.

But yikes what a disaster for Gypsy. Obviously this show will not last past Audra and will probably be gone around Labor Day anyway.

Gonna be a tough time at Call Me Izzy while Jean Smart is out.

I feel like Hell's Kitchen is gonna be gone by the end of the year and I'm still keeping my eye on Mincemeat.

I'll be very curious to see how John P

I think the simplest answer is it's the best example of a divide between people who are into theater and people who may attend theater but aren't "theater people." The first group of people attend a lot of theater, probably are involved in it themselves (whether professionally or in schools/community theaters), post on message boards and read books, etc. The latter group might attend in their own community or see a few Broadway shows but aren't theater needs, so to

I was in the back row of the 100 seats towards the center and it was a great view. The actors have their backs to you occasionally on the small stage but I think that happens anywhere at points during the show. It's well wor

What makes you think that Mincemeat is the one to keep an eye on. It has one of the steadiest grosses from the beginning of its run. No highs, but no lows either, except tinyfluctuations. Why do you think it's in danger of closing?"

That's fair. I'm just specula

I still have my eye on Moulin Rouge. It's wild that that brand doesn't do better in the Summer months, but it needs to be grossing north of $1m to break even. I've been banging this drum (and admittedly have been wrong about Hadestown managing to stick it out), but I don't know how Moulin Rouge survives into 2026."

Despite seeming like a tourist show, Moulin Rouge always seems to sag a bit in the summer and do better off peak
