I don't know that 45 more seats would be considered "a lot larger.""

The Golden has about 800 seats. It is literally less than half the capacity of the Curran.

How long can Stranger Things last at these numbers? This is a very expensive show to run.

Through the end of the holiday season, beginning of 2026 closing date?"

I have to think the final season of the TV show dropping in the fall will help its numbers (not sure why they didn't time it to that in the first place)

Cursed Harry Potter closed down during the Pandemic at the Curran (1667 seats) , then reopened with the new shorter version but did not return to strong business. It closed about two months later. Several other shows including Kimberley Akimbo played the Curran this year..  

Parade was supposed to play the Curran, but changed to the biggest barn of all, the Orpehum (seating 2250+) . It is not selling well and would have done much better at the Curran. It currently offers $49 discount tickers for all performances which includes main floor seats. At the Curran it could have commanded much better full priced seats with 700 fewer seats. Locals prefer shows at the Curran.
