Beetlejuice has really been doing just ok since it came back. Its ticket prices are high enough and their theatre is big enough that it's often making $800k-$1 million, but its attendance numbers suck and it's taking less money than it was in the dead of winter in 2020. 

In this remounting: it did very well in its first two weeks (>95% attendance). But, since then, it has not gone above 81% capacity and spent most of its time in the 60s and 70s. 

Between Christmas 2019 and the shutdown, it always made above $1 Million and was above 95% capacity every week except the last week before the shutdown, when it was still at 90% capacity. 

So, TL;DR I think it's likely the Marquis is also vacant by the end of Winter 2023. 

If I remember correctly, they didn't even allow refunds in June when Sutton had COVID again.

Count me in as someone who had a grand time at this production. Laughed, cried, smiled ear to ear. I won't be going back, but happy I saw it!!

I would have loved to see Justin Timberlake"

Didn't they try to get him? I'm pretty sure I saw Hugh talking about that somewhere.

Telecharge just keeps spinning. Cannot get in.

Bizarre, but I guess Hugh's schedule allowed the extension.

"

That and Back to the Future not starting performances till June leaving the Winter Garden empty in the Spring also likely gave the production some cushion to extend and allow for the theater to be turned around in time for Back to the Future.
