At last glance, the capitalization was roughly $12M, with a weekly cost between $500-550K per week."I know very little about the mathematics of these things, and about theatre finances in gen...

SkidRow82 said: "It feels like the operating costs, expected box office, and time it takes to recoup have all doubled in the last decade instead of just slowly rising over time...It's not necessarily incompatible with "slowly" rising over time though (depending on how you define slowly). Let's say you're right that costs have increased by 100% over last ten years. ~38% of that is just inflation. To get the rest, you only need an additional 3.7% cost increases per year over and above inflation...

This doesn't make any sense thematically. If someone wants to put this group together in a cheap show, I'm sure they can find other options.

The folks posting pictures of him for laughs / commenting on his physical appearance are being super gross. Also, don't focus on physical appearance if you want to insist someone is crazy for thinking you're judging them on physical appearance...

Hey everyone! I want to share an analysis I did of how plays are doing business wise recently compared to the past. Essentially, while the number of plays is not very different historically, they are taking more and more of the top gross positions, as well as some of the largest theatres (Winter Garden for instance).https://kdsmaclean.substack.com/p/plays-are-not-taking-over-broadwayPersonally, I am deeply concerned about the economics of new musicals.

Whether or notplans change, that’s a different story."When you're right, you're right, and when you're wrong, well you WERE right, but plans changed. Am I understanding this correctly? As an outsider, how is that helpful? I can say the same thing after all whenever I'm wrong. It's an empty claim.

EDSOSLO858 said: "I assumed the show was closing on March 10 after Victoria hinted at the number 80 on her Instagram on December 30 (and before the closing notice was formally posted)."You said "I hear it’s closing that day and will be publicly announced sometime this next week or two."Did you "hear" or did you "assume" it? Those are very different meanings and it's worrisome when people imply connections and then backtrack later when they're wrong to "Oh I assumed".

The show, as is public knowledge, will start in Denver in Mid-2007. As far as I know, rehearshals will start in February. As far as casting goes, I know that Sebastian has been cast. I cannot say who, except that it is not a big-name star, and is an unknown in the industry. Because of this, I assume other principal roles have also been cast. I'm not familiar with who has received them however.
