Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 6/15/25 — Page 2

I am very confident that Just in Time will recoup. Beyond that, none of them is necessarily a sure thing. I don’t know about Buena Vista Social Club’s costs and budget but I can’t imagine it’s anything too crazy - and the musical keeps making big money, week after week. At some point, that will slow down, but I probably underestimated how much people like the music/the movie.

Maybe Happy Ending has had a steady climb all year and now it’s in great shape for the summer. We’ll see what happens with finding Darren Criss’ replacement but the show has several things going for it: a popular show that’s been crowned Best Musical, and a show that’s both good and likely to be tourist-friendly. It’s got a lot of money to make given the hole it’s still digging out of, but I am cautiously optimistic. I don’t know how long it would take to recoup. The post-Labor Day period will be important.

Death Becomes Her continues to do well despite winning nothing but the design award. It has several things going for it: The show is the star and therefore doesn’t need expensive replacements, it’s a well-liked comedy, and the producers have deep pockets. But how long does it have to keep churning out profits at something approaching these levels?

Operation Mincemeat depends on costs (which presumably are pretty low by current Broadway standards) and whether it can keep sales at around this level. How does its status as a limited run show lower the costs?

The weekly operating on MINCEMEAT would surprise some. Don't forget they're paying for housing for an entirely British company, per diems, many flights back and forth for the director and design team, etc.
