No shade to Jinkx, but I would argue that we have Pamela Anderson to thank for kicking that renaissance off.

Taking a wild guess that they're already talking to Whitney and Mark for a return engagement to Chicago this fall. Those numbers are incredible.

Maybe I missed it, but is the tour closing after its Philadelphia stop?  They have no bookings for the rest of this 25-26 season and nothing lined up for the 26-27 touring season.

Outsiders has announced a two-week return engagement to Chicago from August 4-16.  This is two of the three weeks they were supposed to be in DC.  Glad they were able to fill up part of that gap period and hope they can land another venue to play the week after their Toronto run.

If a musical takes more than 10 years to come to Broadway, it doesn't want to be a musical.

Damn. It was the last engagement for Back to the Future and so I guess they'll shutter following their Portland engagement.

I wonder if Outsiders can pop right into the National Theatre.

There's a three week period between Beetlejuice and Notebook that essentially fills the gap in their tour schedule.

Have we heard any updates or rumblings about the status of the shows slated to run at the Kennedy Center this summer? Moulin Rouge ends its engagement July 5, but Back to the Future, Doubtfire, and Outsiders have July and August engagements after this supposed two-year closure begins.

Aside from Beautiful Noise, do we know definitively which tours are switching to non-equity this year?

I believe the original recording had an additional 10 string musicians or so, although someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think the return of Beetlejuice is paying off the way the producers were hoping it would.

Does Halloween at all affect turnout for Broadway?  With the holiday landing on a Friday this year leading to the "Halloweekend" of parties and other gatherings, does it affect ticket sales at all?  Is there a historical precedence?

It was a down week definitely but still on par with this time last year and still up from 2023 levels.

That's all fine and dandy but... how does one make 42nd Street dark à la Sunset Boulevard?  Have they read the script?  A dark look into the underbelly of Broadway it ain't.  And I adore 42nd Street.

(unless there's a vision I just cannot see for the life of me)

Love Carpenter tho and would love to have her back on Broadway one day.

And it's going to make BANK.

EDSOSLO858 said: "As was rumored, Jeremy Jordan will return to the show starting November 10."

Curious that the rumor was it would be a limited return for the holidays and no where in the announcement does it say anything about a "limited run."  While I can't imagine it being a long term return, I wonder if they have him contracted past the holidays and through the winter as well?

My guess is a ten week run. November 10 through January 18. Curious to see the box office returns.

Sales are dwindling.  Weekly grosses have been under $1 million for a few weeks now.  I feel like the steam is running out for this production.  Unless they have some surprise stunt casting in the works, I think they'll hold on for the remainder of the year and close come January.
