I am crossing my fingers and praying and doing my best to remain optimistic that Come From Away will survive. It seems to not be a very expensive show to run (someone on the grosses thread from a couple weeks ago claimed that it costs under $500,000 a week - if anyone can confirm this, please tell me, cause I really hope they were right) so with their current numbers they're hopefully breaking even or close to it. It's also important to note there's a fair amount of empty theatres meaning it's probably unlikely they would be kicked out. (E.g. like what happened with Beetlejuice 1.0). Which means, they'll probably only leave on their own terms. Considering the overall success of the show (aside from the struggles of the past few months) and the fact that cast is a very close-knit community mainly due to the subject matter (there are still original and pre-Broadway cast members with the show 5+ years later), my guess is they wouldn't choose to leave unless they were losing significant money. Which, if the claim that they cost under $500,000 a week to run is true, it looks like they probably aren't, as recent weekly grosses have been around the mid-high $400,000s, give or take. My guess is DEH is probably in a similar boat, although I know there's some problematic aspects to the show/story itself, but that's another conversation.
Company probably very largely depends on the outcome of the Tonys, as well as who replaces Patti after she leaves, (Katrina as well, but probably to a lesser extent) if the show continues past that.
I am way less familiar with Paradise Square, but given their numbers, I would be very surprised if they make it past or even through summer. We'll see if they even make it to the Tonys.
you found your heart but left a part of you behind <3
