I’ve been saying this for ages, he’s not only pathetic, I consider him a threat to the Broadway community."

I mean, I find him annoying as hell, but he's been right more than once.

I’d say normally he’s just a nuisance.

But considering the times piece on Maybe Happy Ending and his rumors almost getting the show cancelled before load in - that’s a threat.

Or harassing performers.

Just curious what I missed about that idiot harassing performers as I may have direct knowledge about one such person.

I totally forgot about him, the algorithm has totally thrown him off my radar. Maybe because I would only get through halfway watch and never engage or like.

Have had a lot of friends recently jump on board this one. Hopefully its money well spent..."

I read that The Lost Boys was capitalized for $25 million, so higher than average but not near some other shows that are in the works."

Prove it.

It has. Significantly. It's reason they are letting more producers "in" on the show now. They need the money due to extreme ballooning of costs already by director and creative team - and some producing that has some producers jumping ship.

It could still be scrapped for a later date, west end try-out or altogether.

It's just funny to me for this specific show because I have more information than I usually do, and it's so interesting seeing CoffeeBreak (and others) make stuff up that I know, with 100% certainty, is not factual lol

Sometime just take the information in and do some homework. Like when you guys had a meltdown and called me a troll for saying Titanique was going in the the St James or when I said Beaches was getting the Majestic or told you QOV was struggling to raise its money or that there were good musicals with decent budgets that were getting overlooked because the biggest theater chain was bailing on new musicals this year. All played out. It is just information -take itor leave it but the angry denial on here is nutty. As for "prove it" they are already asking for more money so if they had it all as you guys keep saying why are they asking for more? And why is the theater owner now a GP and how much are they contributing to the show to take on that role if it already has all its money. Just do simple math. Okay? And quit thinking it is negative when it is just information- Moulin and Death are both well over 30 and working."

or answer..

Are they still short on money and asking for new investors?

Are they actively trying to bringon new GPs?

Is the theater ownercoming in as at GP?

Has the budget gone up from the original paperwork?

Or what exactly do you disagree with Coffee on?

I don't think they will shut down. I think they will get priority loans if they have to.
People like the show but not the numbers and there is a fear of having no out of town after the QOV process. So prove something to us or let it go.

This is like the right wing playbook. Say something, anything, then say the onus is on the other side to disprove their assertion.

Reminds me of the last page in this thread where an actor was dropping out. Still hasn't happened.

hoping the music they have released so far isn't the "good stuff" because if so.... :/ is it all super generic pop?

Which Ensemble is the one with the chip on their shoulder?
