So funny. So racist. So basic."

Why is it related to race?

You are almost saying Kecia’s previous behavior was based on her race.

When people say “race card” it’s obvious to me they don’t know who dealt it. The lowlife internalized racism on these boards isn’t good for your health, but you idiots wear it proudly bc you’re behind a username without accountability. Moving on bc you’re not worth it.

Back to the topic. I hope an exciting new musical enters the chat.

I'd kill for a 'Your lie' or 'Death Note" transfer.

I was delighted to read that it returned its investment and a 60% return on investment; I had not read that, and had no idea where it stood or what its weekly break-even is. It is clearly past its peak grossing times, demonstrated by its good, but not spectacular Christmas season grosses.

Isn't it possible that the producers decided to take the money and run, not risking the possibility of having enough money losing weeks as to reduce the investor's return. Since this was never a mega-hit, did they figure that the road company was likely going to have some negative impact on the grosses (are tourists going to buy tickets in NYC if it is coming to their city, when there are other shows to see that are not?)

I think you misread that. It has not recouped. Per the NYT:

The Broadway run has not recouped its $22 million capitalization — vanishingly few new Broadway musicals have become profitable since the coronavirus pandemic — but Keys said “Hell’s Kitchen” has returned 60 percent of that amount to its investors, and she expects the touring productions to lead to eventual profitability.

New York audiences are way different than Vegas, nevertheless I could see it filling the Shubert for a time since it's a recognizable title for tourists."

They are indeed doing a NY run, but it won’t be onBroadway. And it’s a male dance revue, not a theatre piece."

Also heard this. They are getting a separate space put together ala Mamma Mia The Party.

Thanks for correcting. I was surprised wherever I read it, and concluded that its breakeven must have been lower than I assumed. Disappointed to hear.

Kelsee Kimmel was originally slated to end her run as Jersey on the 11th... then extended to the 25th, and now for the rest of the run.

It's pretty clear they were trying to negotiate a name that would keep them going, but it didn't work out.

I'm assuming that for any of these productions, aside from the actual piece being ready, they would need to have a good number of investors/co-producers in place? I would think it would be difficult to raise $$$ on such short notice?

I was told that they're waiting until fall because Jordan Donica is filming the newest season of The Gilded Age throughout the spring.

Correct. I wish it would come sooner but I think it will be more successful in the Fall.
