AKA - advertising
Situation - digital
Super Awesome Friends - digital content
Polk & Co - press"

Is there a valid reason for why there has to be 4 separate entities for these things?"

Of course. Four totally different disciplines. Polk, for instance, handles reviews, editorials, etc, helping to create a narrative with various journalists and appearances. That is a totally different job than coming up with a captivating advertisements (AKA) or finding the right social media influencers to send to the show to create content (Super Awesome Friends). Basically all shows use 3-4 agencies for their marketing and pr now.

It won't. You can't go off the first preview and learn anything. If you could, Sunset Blvd would be grossing $2.4 million

I wouldn't be surprised if 'Left AT Tenth' is the surprise sleeper hit of the decade. 600K isn't bad for such a modest production. As for Tammy Faye isn't that somewhat similar to the Aimee Semple McPherson musical which had some big guns promoting  it (Kathy Lee certainly). If that wasn't successful I don't see how Tammy Faye could do better.

It moved me to sample the music that is online. And that moved me to hold off on buying tickets.

That is a truly wild statement

If Left on Tenth gets reviewed well I will eat my hat.

It's still a little early to tell, but I'm impressed with how stable Gatsby has been. I know Eva and Jeremy are still in it, but I originally agreed with those who said it would close after a year when their contracts are up. We still have another 5ish months to go, but I'd be shocked if they don't try to get at least one round of exciting replacements in to see what happens.

??? Tammy Faye and Scandalous have absolutely nothing to do with one another. That was fifteen years ago. Scandalous flopping tells us nothing about how Tammy Faye will do.

I'm confused. I didn't say anything about a London run. For which show?

Boy, "Yellowface" is crashing and burning. I guess the red state-breasted wokebirds are going to flock to the Times comment boards to squwack "WOKE WOKE WOKE!" One step forward...

You said Tammy Faye had a successful London run, and then apparently edited your post to remove that statement.

I misspelled "flopping " as "flipping." I edited that.
