Even taking into account the buying habits of audiences these days, Beaches’ sold seats for this week look beyond bleak. Not since Tammy Faye. Time to pack it in.

MysteriousLady said: "barcelona20 said: "For a show that didn't win the Tony Award, the continued success of Mincemeat baffles me."

They have cultivated a cult following since they were in the UK and do a tremendous job with social media and email promotions to get fans involved."

One of these Mincemeat promotions, which I think may be particularly effective, is offering $79 tickets in certain prime locations to the fans. They stoke the enthusiasm in the theater in key locations, which helps keep the energy going.

Next weeks numbers should be a good tell for The Lost Boys. I am concerned for Schmigadoon however.

While I gather that Schmigadoon! is a solid, entertaining production, I have wondered from the outset whether the show - reliant as it is on knowledge of and fondness for the decades-old musicals it is mildly spoofing, might just have too limited an audience? Even the title is an inside joke based on a musical most people have never seen, including me. (I enjoyed the TV series.)

It seems too early to assess The Lost Boys.

What are Maybe Happy Ending’s weekly running costs?

While Death of a Salesman is not filling the Winter Garden, grosses are moving up steadily and Tony nominations will give it a boost. I don’t know if it’s possible for the play to recoup by the time it closes in August, but word of mouth must be helping.

It's way too early to assess the long-term chances of Lost Boys, but 90% capacity includes all butts-in-seats, yes? I was at the Wednesday matinee on TDF, the performance that might prove harder to fill. What's the nut? Shouldn't it be making at least as much as something like the Radcliffe solo show? They did sell seats to the opening night. It was posted on Instagram and they made a big deal out of offering them. I do understand that the critics' performances and opening night week are not useful for forecasting, but has it hit a million and stayed there yet? Surprised.

Either Boroff or NYT reported they were 765k before the Tonys. Even taking a very hardline or ungenerous view, this was not a money losing week for them

The backstage crew numbers have changed among many changes to the cast. They are weekly at over a mil.

BEACHES' grosses went up! it's saved!!!

The New York Times reported that weekly running costs were $765K as of June 2025. Those numbers may have gone up since then (inflation, Darren Criss did win a Tony Award) but I would be surprised if it soared to $1 million a week.

But I am not the expert on such things.

"

765K running would put the breakeven above 900K (9% to fees, 7% to theater + royalty minimums). So $1M breakeven would be a big jump, but not an unbelievable one. Printed running costs are well below the actual grosses required to meet them for all shows.

By the same stroke, Lost Boys breakeven has to be massively above $1M. Titanique, we know from Boroff's reporting, has a breakeven close to a million, Lost Boys is bigger on every axis.
