Couldn't be happier that Les Miz is having amazing farewell weeks.

To be fair, Les Miz never had a problem with summer/tourist heavy times. It's the other times of year when they struggle.

Paramour's not going anywhere any time soon, and from what I hear, the changes are actually pretty good.

Not to beat a dead horse, but when is JERSEY BOYS going to announce a closing? Their numbers all summer have been dreadful.

Yep, I bet that is the reason

Both Jersey Boys and Chicago have essentially nothing to lose. They play fairly in the slow weeks, medium to big in the big weeks. The big weeks help them in the small weeks. They've both recouped and people are still buying tickets so as long as they are meeting their budget (although I'm sure they've got some wiggle room if they don't) I don't think either are going anywhere any time soon.

I know they both have been running for a while, but they can't be sitting on pile of THAT much cash. They must be at their breaking point, so much so their sets must be breaking."



Oh, yes! That's clearly it, Jorge. They are staying open just so torment people like you on this message board. Makes complete sense!



Please, give me a break. Both productions are meeting their weekly nut, recouped long ago, and are sitting on significant piles of cash (do you forget they generate revenue from more than just the box office?). They'll close when they begin losing money... and no sooner.
