Freaking Phantom closing still makes me so sad.

Calling it now, the next revival of GYPSY will be Lea Michele as Rose.

I always thought our next Mama Rose would be either Audra or Idina, unless its the dream role of an Alist movie star along the lines of Nicole Kidman and they are willing to commit to a 9 month Broadway run. 

So beyond happy for COME FROM AWAY to be closing with sellout houses. Gonna be a bucket of tears on Sunday for their closing.

Phantom going to be a tough ticket to get from now until closing.

MJ's numbers are certainly the surprise show of the year.

Sutton Ross said: "Nope. Nothing surprising about MJ's number, last year or this year. I will be happy when you stop being SHOCKED about an international hit that will be on Broadway and tour for years."

Mixed reviews and frequent discounts are why I'm shocked their numbers are so high. Happy for the show, of course, but still surprised at their numbers.

Funny Girl is doing great.  But I am surprised it is not at 100 and above since they are now selling standing room.

Julie's Thursdays will always lower the weekly percentage."

Oh that is right. 

"Cancel Culture" is largely not a thing, outside of maybe Twitter. They both seemed controversial prior, but now the box office shows the public doesn't care"

Correct. It doesn't exist. 

BJR said: "I'd put MJ's strong numbers alongside Lea's, in one sense. Not because their allegations have anything in common, or are remotely comparable, but because they show how "Cancel Culture" is largely not a thing, outside of maybe Twitter. They both seemed controversial prior, but now the box office shows the public doesnt care. Such "cancelling" may only matter if it alienates your core demo audience. If it doesn't, then that core demo (and possibly well beyond), aren't going to break their attachment.

(Also, it's interesting when I've seen someone make inferences about the success of one, saying how Bway didn't mean all it said in the past few years, while not being upset about the other. I, for one, think it's always a personal decision. So, I try not to make inferences about another's decision - except, I guess, unless it's about their inferences lol)"

Eh. I personally have a bit of a different perspective on this.

Calling her out on her atrocious behavior absolutely did its job, depending on how you look at it. These allegations are something that will stay with her for the rest of her life. She'll consistently be forced to have to address them throughout her career and if it's true that she's mostly a nightmare to work with, it's now common knowledge and employers can decide whether or not they are willing to take that risk. Her career absolutely took a hit. To suggest that it does't work or doesn't exist simply because her entire life wasn't completely destroyed, or because she's currently having a nice career moment (which is still in it's early phases, we'll see how it all plays out) is not totally accurate.

Way to go, Lea. 

Phantom numbers make me happy, but so sad to think of why people are rushing to see it.

Agreed that MJ numbers aren't a shock. 

Audra!!

There will always be Lea Michele fans despite cancel culture. Question is whether that momentum can carry on with the non-GLEE fans in a few weeks or after the holidays.
