Stereo... closing? General question.

So, I realize some shows open with a business model of only performing a limited run if there is a star or if they think they can recoup or even make a big enough 'splash' during said time frame but with Stereophonic... any thoughts or insights on why they "had" to close. They were at, if not near, capacity throughout their time at the Golden and they extended multiple times. I'm happy to hear of the tour and the West End transfer but couldn't this show have lived a little longer in NYC? Maybe just lack of physical theatre? I'm curious.

Someone claiming to know some of the behind the scenes decision making said that Stereophonic would have liked to keep running, but the decision was made by the Shuberts that Operation Mincemeat would have the Golden this spring. It would be interesting to see how long Stereophonic would have lasted if they had been allowed to do an open ended run. But it doesn't surprise me that the Shuberts figured Stereophonic would run out of steam in early 2025 and Mincemeat would be a better bet.
