how has beautiful, pretty woman, waitress, not all announced closing yet? Those numbers in the middle of the summer are dreadful. i cannot imagine what they will be after labor day. 350k each? Their operating costs all must be over 600k or more.Beetlejuice also cannot get above $95.00 avg tix price. thats a big problem.

They should get a Tony Award for NICEST CAST! I hope they run Pretty Woman for a long time on Broadway."a day over 18!?!?!? lol come on now. Lets stop with the hyperbole.

this isn't an "innovative" theatre idea. Its changing the gender of the lead character. Thats not innovative.

what about a male GYPSY!!or an adult ANNIE!!!!!Or a kid who plays don quixote in Man of la mancha because he has a child like sensibility!!!!!Or a female Jekyll and Hyde!!!Such amazing and innovative ideas!!! Lets take an iconic role and switch it with the exact OPPOSITE!!!! BRILLIANT!!!! OMG!!! That would sell tix and people will think its art!!!ya'll are sad

Good call not bringing in the Lyric opera house of chicago production in..you know the one with actors who could actually act and have sexual and emotional tension? Laura Osnes and Steve Pasquale would (should) have been in this.

Brantley must have been in a Isherwood Rock of Ages mood."right? i mean 6 years later and it being one of the longest running broadway shows in history shows that isherwood had no idea what he was talking about...right?snob

MS. Carmello is the grand dame of her generation but she missed a generation. In terms of age, she just missed the grand years of Ms. peters and the lady who doesn't know how to act, Ms Lupone (how this woman who is one of the worst actors made it as far as she did is incredible). Its really too bad that she isn't a household name. Ms. Carmelo is one of the best performers broadway has to offer right now and more kids know who the leads of "be more chill" are (who sing in that whiny horrible ...

musicals have crappy books because a lot of good writers go to TV/film because it pays so much more. why waste your time trying to get a show to broadway for 5 years when you can write a pilot and have it get picked up and then you have a 10 episode series where you make 250k.

that NYT review might help the show close by sunday

its easy and fun for people who never create anything in this world to make fun of or wish ill on people who do. It makes them feel better that others fail as they sit around contributing nothing of consequence to the world other than their own feelings of dread onto people who "do something". there are lemmings everywhere and 99% of this board are people who don't bring anything new to the world.

Now all the Roma people who were up late at night cursing the heavens about the name of the robe can sleep in peace. Millions of screams have finally been silencedAEA...you did it. Great job. Kate Shindle's legacy...she stopped the decades long suffering of the Roma people.

yes. shows incur debt from previous productions that were mounted and capitalized.

i disagree. "large advances" can dwindle very quickly if the reviews and WOM is bad.

i usually look and base it by summer numbers...if the show isn't doing well..and just kinda "there" it will be gone. Summer and christmas are the biggest times. So if you aren't making a 100k or so over your nut in the summer there is almost no way you make it to the new year. SOrock might be going down that road as well

AnastasiaKinky bootsBeautifulGetting the band back togetherHead over heelsSpongebobWaitress (unless Sara B comes back in the show again)thoughts?

its a musical...this isn't that important. Jees

The max you get bought out is 15 weeks of pay. Thats probably around 35k for a standby. Why wouldn't the weisslers pay 35k to buy him out? that doesn't make any sense. the weisslers are multi millionaires..why would they care about 35k (or so)?

MAYBE THEY HIRED THE BEST PEOPLE WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THEIR EXTERIORS!!!!

i find it funny that people who love the arts care about awards for art.

the bands visit was one of the more boring things i have ever seen. The last 20 min were good..the rest made me annoyed. Fish out of water story. seen it before. NExt.
