With this cast, I'd think they would want a bigger theatre than the Boorh anyways.

Does this have the Lyceum or Longacre?"

Lyceum"

Really? Wow. I definitely thought Oh Mary would keep going since it’s basically printing money and a front runner for a bunch of rewards. (Akin to last season’s MERRILY)"

It would be a shame if Mary had to close for this Glengarry (assuming that Mary really does want to extend).

No one is making Oh Mary do anything.  Cole controls the future there.

I've heard rumors (well, some sweaty guy on Tiktok shouted rumors at the world) that Oh Mary is intending to extend, so I'd be unsurprised if either Glengarry is circling another theater or Oh Mary is looking to transfer.

I'm hearing it's extending and staying at the Lyceum. GGR most likely will end up at the Belasco is what I'm hearing but they are still waiting on a theatre.

I'm hoping that the rave reviews received by MAYBE HAPPY ENDING might mean that the producers of Glengarry need to circle another theater!

No matter what theater it's in, Jeffrey Richards will have to grapple with the fact that there isn't nearly as much buzz about this production as there was about the Pacino-Cannavale one. 

Case in point: the full cast announcement was Thursday and aside from this Playbill piece I've seen barely a whimper (likely because they're not big names)

Donald Webber Jr as Williamson
John Pirruccello as Lingk
Howard W Overshown as Baylen

This. The literal unanimous positive and rave reviews give MHE a bit of an extra cushion and looking at the next few days of tickets for MHE and its looking like the reviews have had at the very least as short term impact. Will it be enough to take it to the spring? I don't know. But if I were Wonderful World and Swept Away, I would be worried that Glengarry was going to start breathing down my neck waiting for the slightest falter

Studio 54 is not a Shubert Theater. There won’t be breathing down anybody’s neck.

MHE did much worse than Lempicka (less than $300K!) and Swept Away doesn't have much better numbers. Why would Wonderful World worry about anyone breath on their neck with over $600K grosses which I think will get higher during holidays? Some people are so passionate about MHE that their math stopped mathing, literally.

The difference between MHE and Lempicka is that Lempicka received mostly mixed-to-negative reviews while MHE received universal acclaim. Their producers would be foolish to pull the plug this soon after that kind of critical reception. The next few weeks will be telling about how much that kind of reception means. It does mean that if the producers of Glengarry were buzzards around the Belasco as their Option A, they’re probably considering Options B and C after last night.

Because the grosses for last week's MHE do not reflect ticket sales after unanimous rave reviews.  

[gibsons2]

Posted: 11/13/24 at 1:18pm

Well, I'll take back my words if next week MHE will gross over $700K (is this how much it costs to run it?). Pulling the plug early is a "humane death" in this case. The Great Gatsby got demolished by critiques and is still thriving.

MHE and GGR have the same producers FWIW

I’m aware they share producers and that they aren’t the theater owners. In my opinion, they would still be foolish to pull the plug immediately on a show that just got raves before it has a little bit of time to gain traction, even if their incoming show is a guaranteed sell-out hit just based on the celebrity cast. There are other theaters to circle as alternative options, even if the Belasco is still their top choice.

Where are people getting the figure that MHE costs $700K a week to run? The show has an impressive and techinically complicated set design but scenery is an element that is part of production costs. Weekly running costs includes things like actor crew and musician salaries, PR, costume and set maintanance. I have a hard time believing this 4 person musical costs $700K a week to "run"

Wasn't there a recent rumor that Dead Outlaw was the buzzard circling the Belasco?

Enough people have seen the offering documents/have friends part of the show that have confirmed this. Automation costs, development costs, rent, marketing... all of that isn't cheap.

Show will go dark on Sundays to accommodate Kieran Culkin's time with family

This part of the article is kind of weird: He did THIS IS OUR YOUTH on Broadway in 2014 -- did he not remember?

Culkin apparently expected far more downtime when he signed up for the play, which co-stars Bob Odenkirk, Michael McKean and Bill Burr. “Then I talked to friends who do theater and have young kids, and I was like, ‘Wait, is it good?’ They’re like, ‘No, you never see your kids. You’re working every night. You never do bath time, bedtime. You get one night a week.’”

He had been married for about a year in 2013. He and his wife have two young children now.

I’m confused why is this news? If they take off Sunday let them be.

Bravo. As someone who travels a long distance for my NY theatre fix, having a Monday night performance enables me to squeeze in one more show.  Now if only I could find something for Sunday night . . .

Still not quite getting your point.  Do only people with children know that most shows have Sunday performances? Do childless actors, crew, etc. not know the days of the week??  In any event, as others have said this is not "news" , and perhaps the writer of the puff piece misinterpreted.
