For such short runs of productions that are entirely dependent on their title alone, I have to assume the numbers have been crunched to make sure they are worthwhile.

Interesting that they’ve opened the balcony for this and didn’t even do that for a sellout hit like “Glengary”.

Okay it seems very much a London thing to pull things on tour into the West End, there theatres are never dark long, on Broadway a theatre can be dark for months.
Will New York audiences embrass theatre filler tour shows coming in? History suggests not thinking of the smash hit Motown at the Lunt Fontanne, but when the tour came back to the Nederlander it died a death,

Three separate Broadway runs but we’re no closer to the UK production? Jesus.

A 3 month run is fine for this. It'll do well around Halloween and then again around the holidays.

Yeah this will do fine with their timing because it won't be around that long.

For people who've seen the tour and the Broadway run, how scaled down is the set? I can't imagine it's nearly as complicated as the original set was if the show is touring successfully. If it looks good and doesn't cost too much, this feels like an easy way to earn more money off the production before they shift to licensing.

I thought they did a great job with downsizing the set. The only thing I REALLY noticed was the death scene in Ready Set (is that what it’s called? lol) is different.

Yeah the set is fairly similar. There is no hole in the floor and I felt like the snake was a little more limited. But other than that it was largely the same from my memory

Instead of falling through the floor, they are electrocuted by a faulty wiring in a floor lamp. They lampshade it a little more during “Ready Set Not Yet, so the gag works.”

I thought they did a great job too. It was mostly the transitions with the house set that the downsizing was really noticeable.
Is there a chance for the tour cast to use the old Broadway set? I feel like that would give this show the extra push to see it there rather than wait for the tour to come back to their town.

Will the National Tour stay as Equity after the Broadway engagement?
There is a return Los Angeles engagement at the Pantages Theatre - March 10, 2026 - March 22, 2026.

The tour is finished after the Broadway stop.

The equity tour finishes with the Broadway run and the non-equity tour launches shortly thereafter

At this rate the palace will sit as long as the gershwin before wicked before they're able to justify rennovating. What a disaster of a reopening.

The main house unit doesn't track forward, but is largely the same, just smaller. Delia's closet/bedroom is just a smaller unit on the stage left side with the main show drop, which opens on one side, paged. Similar for the father's bedroom, just on the opposite side. On Broadway, these were units that rotated from the backside of the attic set.
The rooftop is smaller, the exterior of the house is just a projection, the lack of the lift has been mentioned. Mostly everything looks pretty solid, just smaller, and more movable. The only thing that I thought looked cheap were the Beetlejuice face and hand puppets, they are much more 2D and look cheap.

Is a remount like this one usually eligible for Tonys?

the last remount closed in 23, it has to be a three year gap to be eligible for tonys

I wouldn't count on it. No.

Platt’s residency underperformed and Tammy Faye flopped, but Glengary is currently printing money and there’s certainly a good argument that Beetlejuice will do at least alright for a holiday engagement.
Despite its legendary status as the place Judy and Liza played, the Palace has had just as many flops, cash grabs, and uninspiring runs as any other Broadway house and the renovation was never going to change that.

This isn't an emerging trend. It's a returning trend. This used to happen all the time. Tours used to play on Broadway faurly regularly, from Oklahoma!, to to Hello, Dolly, and The Wiz.
