I noticed that. I thought Chicago was trending to a closer, but they have gotten the ship back on course?!? Perhaps they are the benefactor of some really bad newer shows on Broadway right now ... tourists might pass on something like Beaches to see Chicago again, instead?

Not recording related, but I really like the current Hades on the National tour, Nikolaus Colon. Deeper voice, darker and more sinister presentation than most... with a bit of wry cockiness. Smirks, chuckles... he really GETS the role.

Oh, easily will be able to re-coup $8 mil on the road. Musicals tend to make a much larger profit on the road than on Broadway.

It has not yet appeared on any of the releases thus far, but they have all been larger venues like Baltimore and Dallas. It has been an equity tour ... I could see a world where it drops to non-equity and starts hitting the smaller town venues?!? But nothing indicates that yet."

Phantom really is amazing. To think that Lion King opened in Nov of 1997 and still has a couple more years to go to beat out Phantom. That's crazy.
