Certainly not bad for a show that less than a year ago was having trouble scraping together the funds to even open on Broadway.

I bet the investors who antied up are glad they did now!

Did we seriously believe it wouldn't recoup? It has been doing strong in the box office for a long while. Congrats to all on a big Hit!

The cast should celebrate by taking to the streets. Naked.

WOW! I haven't read the article yet....but does this break some kind of record??? I remember when Spring Awakening re-couped in 9 months they made a big deal about it....THIS is what FOUR months?

Congrats!

That is called really great producing.

[Drunk Chita Rivera]

Posted: 8/7/09 at 9:12am

That's incredible. I knew it would happen fast judging by these numbers but not this fast!

[AndAllThatJazz22]

Posted: 8/7/09 at 9:36am

Woo-hoo!!!!! Congratulations to the cast and the entire creative team. I don't think I've ever seen a show recoup so fast!!! That's such great news!!!

Great job!!!! I should have a long, healthy run. And I thought A Chorus Line recouped quickly(6 months).

[singtopher]

I raise my coffee mug to the producers!

Fast as this was, it makes sense. Compared to most shows, I'm sure it cost very little to produce.

WOW! They are quick!

[sally1112]

Posted: 8/7/09 at 11:10am

Yeah!!! Glad to say my bff's and my $225 could help!

[millie_dillmount]

Posted: 8/7/09 at 11:12am

Good for them - hope they have a long run!

[broadwaybaby086]

Posted: 8/7/09 at 11:43am

That's great; wasn't the production delayed because of inadequate funding/an inability to secure producers? If so, what an amazing outcome!

Fast as this was, it makes sense. Compared to most shows, I'm sure it cost very little to produce.

$5.76 million, according to the article.

The average Broadway musical today costs $10 million.

I bet everybody who pulled out of investing is kicking himself now.
