I truly don't understand why this is a controversy. They have turned down offers before. They are producing an awards show. They have to have time to give out the awards too. And the $300k-ish is meant to cover the expenses of each individual show's performance, it's not something the Tonys make money on. They

We’ve yet to hear formal announcements for COTTONFIELD, FETCH CLAY, MAKE MAN, THE GOAT, OR WHO IS SYLVIA?, and LITTLE BEAR RIDGE ROAD."

No production seeks out the Jones...they have the jones thrust upon them when every other theater is booked...so I think Fall productions are waiting to see what else folds before sig

I have not fact checked any of this. Apparently when Audra won her Tony for Porgy and Bess the production and her performance where not exactly well received. The production took many liberties and was in fact retitled Gershwins Porgy and Bess. Sondheim wrote a editorial for the times blasting the p

Or was SWEPT AWAY really that close to not being able to pay their weekly nut and their rent on the theater?"

The stop clause was enacted, but the original December 15th closing date was a choice by producers because much like Tammy Faye the show was hemorrhaging cash likely loosing between $200K-$350K a week since the first wee

I mean, when your average ticket price is so low and you're apparently papering like crazy, how could they be doing any better? I'm not saying this is a winning strategy or anything, just that given the (self-imposed) constraints, I don't think they're doing too badly. Obviously it can't continue beyond previews, but I don't think anything

The timeline for this does not align with Caroline's departure. From my understanding producers where scrambling behind the scenes to find a replacement before it was announced on July 29th. The entire cast was on 6 month

Harmony has a smaller hill to climb then Ohio, but I wouldn't be surprised if we get notice for either next week for 12/30 or 1/8.

I saw someone say they think Akimbo will likely post after the holidays and it wouldn't surprise me either, and a 15-16 month run for a such a small show that's had a terrible marketing campaign and next to no non-theater community support is nothing to poopoo  about. While Kimberly Akimbo will also likely close at a loss

From my understanding producers are actively looking to move the show to another theater as the show has consistently made money since Tony nominations came out. It wasn't making a ton of money, nor was it on track to recoup its investment, but was still consistently turning a profit. I had some friends who were at Glass House last night also tell me the cast was there after the news broke and they overheard them discussing where they think they might move. So the question at this point s

Kimberly Akimbo is still making money, but barely. It likely won't make it past January, but for that's in line with what you would expect for a run for such a quirky little musical th
