A BEAUTIFUL NOISE to close June 30

With poor ticket sales and often less than 60% of the theatre seats being sold, A Beautiful Noise on Broadway is expected to close. This closing will come before the deluge of new Broadway shows that are arriving on the block in March and April 2024. An official date for the show closing has not yet been announced, but is expected soon.

I've heard it's coming. the April 14 closing is likely more accurate. Their advance sales is very poor.

A Beautiful Noise was scheduled to run through June 30, 2024, but now even that date is up in the air. The weekly ticket sales of $700K are just not enough to support the show, that has operational costs in excess of $1.1 Million per week. Investors may now want out.



Tickets were on sale through September 1 as of last week only to be changed to June 30 recently.

If it cost 1.1 mil a week, there are very few weeks they made money.

Wait, what the fück?! Ken Davenport is so freaking inept. A Neil Diamond musical should not cost 1.1 million dollars. Can someone breakdown the weekly costs, because that makes no sense.

How could A Beautiful Noise possibly have the same weekly running cost as the upcoming, pricey Cabaret revival? Song royalties, perhaps? Inflation? I feel like something's a bit fishy here...

nope. not even close. it's weekly operating costs is roughly $750k."



Yes, but don’t forget to add in “Theatre Rent %” and “Minimum Royalties”. That’s above “weekly operating costs”. People always forget these two “cost” pieces which are typically shown on a P&L below weekly “operating” costs. So, close to a million “all in” is actually very conceivable. Actually, For most musicals these days.

Those factors are part of their operating costs. I wonder if they got a break on their rent as no new show was looking to take the theater this Spring. I know SUNSET was looking at the theater but passed on it. The producers may just tough it out until June 30.

The show hasn't had a discount code in a while outside of the recent Broadway week BOGO promotion. Twice they've done a 24 hour flash sale offering $79 orchestra and $49 mezz. it's shocking they currently don't have discounted tickets.

That's their current target closing date. However, if sales don't pick up soon, it'll probably be April 14. Hence why an announcement hasn't been made yet.

There are announcements on several sites including this one and they all cite June 30 as the closing date. Of course, it can be moved up with more competition coming in.
