Yes, meaning you’d have enough money to lose the 100k but still be missing the 100k.

You’d be rich but have 100K missing from your bank account."

This was an A+ joke. 

But do you think Seaview is doing the Rudin model of getting high profile guaranteed moneymakers on board, then using gains from those to finance new works - but just absolutely suck at picking which shows to bet on?

I imagine this would be a security nightmare having Zegler on a balcony - open to all the crazies with guns in the states. Cannot see this happening.

saw this tonight. in many ways its every bit the abomination you all said it would be in terms of content/book/message, but i thought the first act was watchable. 

i cant remember any comparable instance where a performer's charms so wholly undercut the overall piece like chenoweth's do here.  she sounds FANTASTIC, and her cutie-pie charm saves many of the more leaden scenes. shes doing a really great job but shes playing a vapid monster, and so the performance makes no sense. i very much understand how sherie rene scott would do a better job playing this obscenity of a person, but i imagine the show suffers without all that chenoweth timing and charm. 

the book is dreadful, and the Message appears way too late and way too briefly. Its wild how Jackie Siegel herself is listed in the playbill and part of the team here since the show ultimately depicts her to be the vile headcase she obviously is. Peak delusion that she put her own stamp of approval on this characterization, but the very fact of her involvement dooms the show.

F Murray Abraham is doing the work of a 66 year old, which is impressive since hes twenty years older, but its a throwaway role that has no coherence to it-- he seems like a decent guy until suddenly hes horrible to his wife, who doesnt react or seem to care. Seems like a mistake to have "star cast" this role at all. Nina White does nice work with unmemorable songs. Its a total crime that the housekeeper is given nothing to do--the perfect vehicle for commentary this show cant bother to make. 

a very tepid response from a mostly full audience. TDF put us in front left orchestra (premium seats) and there were plenty of empty ones around us, so i understand the early close date.

I don't know if this discussion is on-topic on this thread, but I've never quite understood this line of thought. New York City is not really a dangerous place in general. Famous people are out in public all the time, in places that stalkers could figure out ahead of time if they wanted. Though I know Zegler is not popular with the scumbag Right, I don't think she's famous enough to be a particular target. At some point, unless there's an immediate threat, I don't think we should let the crazies determine what can and can't be done.

I’ve never felt unsafe in New York… which I love by the way.. but she is (for some bizarre reason) a controversial figure to many. It takes one crazy person to create a real security danger.

I’ve also never felt unsafe in NYC. And yes, famous people are out in public all the time, but it’s also fundamentally different when a target is moving as opposed to stationary which, in this case, you are putting Zegler, stationary, front and center in a high traffic area for 5 minutes .

Anyway, the show is slated to close in a week (Sunday December 21, 2025) and zero mention of it is on their social media. New posts and reels are being posted on their Instagram but nothing like “last chance to catch” or “final week(s)” just to give people a heads up. I’m sure people who had tickets past December 21 have since been notified and refunded so they find no need to mention anything publicly.

It would be negligent for producers to not anticipate potential security issues of all sorts and determine how to mitigate them.  Even in London, two bodyguards were stationed within feet of Zegler.
