They aren't even remotely close to sold out for the handful of dates I just checked in June.

It's Tony season, dear. Shows are campaigning.

Practically sold out through September? You sure love saying stuff that is verifiably false.

This show is not going anywhere any time soon. They are gonna do what they've done with the London production and rotate celebrities in the starring roles. With all the time spent reconfiguring this theatre, they are likely gonna run for a long time."

Decades. I said this the moment this announced a transfer."

It will be lucky to run two years, the word of mouth is going to catch up to it unless they get superstar replacements which considering they couldn't even get a name to open the show as Sally already seems questionable

I really don't see how its model can be sustainable for decades- their tickets have to stay rather pricey to first cover the initial production cost, which will take a while, and then they have to stay pricey to actually run the thing, the cost of which is likely quite a bit higher than a comparably-sized production because of the preshow.

Tell that to Here Lies Love

Also on the West End, it seems they've rotated in B and C-list TV stars mostly. That may be a viable option for filling a small West End theatre, but it's not going to sustain a Broadway run. Finding an A-list movie star who wants to be a replacement in a poorly reviewed Broadway show is going to be tough.

Broadway Flash said: "They’re always sold out day of. I’m standing by my comment"

your comment said they were sold out through september which is incorrect

Broadway Flash said: "They’re always sold out day of. I’m standing by my comment"

Unless you've found a way to time travel to every future date between now and September to see the sold out shows, your comment is false. You're welcome to stand by it, but it just makes you look even more foolish than everyone already thinks you are. Take the L on this one.

That exact method has sustained Chicago on Broadway for many many years now. Not saying it will work for Cabaret but but there is evidence it could.

Chicago won best revival, had a film adaptation that won best picture like 3-4 years into its run and cost almost nothing to produce

literally comparing apples to grenades here"

I would bet that most people that bought tickets to see Ariana Madix in Chicago don't know or care what the reviews were like or if it won any Tony awards. You underestimate the power of fan bases.

Once you stop coming to any Cabaret-related threads around here for reviews, you may actually begin to find the humor is how prologues and stickers got some of you hot under the collar.

Chicago has weekly running costs of $200 and a pack of Marlboro Lights. Like how could you compare the two? Cabaret required a massive renovation to the theatre. Chicago is Black Box production that doesn't demand much heavy lifting from its cast that allows people to go in and out. It's tickets are also CHEAP.
