How long will Paramour last?

Until it's not making its weekly nut anymore!

It likely will last for a while. They have too much invested. It's also pulling down $1 million per week.

The theater is also too huge for the average show.

From macadamia to cashew? How terrible!

Not if the cashews are roasted really well.

I'm hoping it stays for a while, because Bret Shuford is one of my favorite actors and I'd hate to see him jobless, lol.

You are way too green on here to already be bashing board veterans. And your initial joke wasn't even funny enough to be defensive of anyway.

And as much as I dislike seeing a Broadway theater occupied by what's not really a Broadway show, they're not doing too shabby financially. It won't be forever, but it won't be too soon.



I'm not looking to bash anyone, but if someone initiates something with me, I will respond and I don't think there should be a seniority requirement to defend oneself. I wasn't being nasty to anyone or criticizing anyone. I made a silly joke. If you don't like my humor, don't laugh. And I apologize if I disrupted a thread where people with no actual knowledge of the show's plans were pulling random guesses out of their rear ends. Carry on.

And remember, Cirque has a whole different financial situation then most producers . . . and could keep the show running through lean weeks to get to the more financial lucrative weeks. And the theater's owners probably don't have people lining up to get in there.

I don't really think it's fair to say that it's "not really a Broadway show" - if I'm not mistaken, and excuse me if I am, but it has original music (although jukebox musicals aren't any less Broadway in my book), and a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Don't get me wrong, I'm not like a diehard fan here, but I don't think it's correct to call this not a Broadway show. Something like "Pen and Teller"? Absolutely agree, not a Broadway show. But this isn't just a circus act on stage. It's as Broadway as "Hamilton" is Broadway, I think.

"It's as Broadway as "Hamilton" is Broadway, I think."

Absolutely. And a lot easier to sit through.

After Eight said: "As for Paramour, I'm glad to see it doing good business. Broadway desperately needs musicals that do not lecture, affront, condescend to or stick it to the audience. May it prosper.



"

Wow. After Eight actually likes something.

I totally agree. I can think of a number of shows that fit the latter category - some past and some present - but will refrain from naming them so that the villagers do not get the pitchforks and torches ready to attack. .
