Well, this was definitely not worth going out in 100 degrees for.

I think I jumped the gun on this show, but I had nothing else lined up for September and I wasn't paying regular prices for PV. At least I used a $50 Telecharge gift card with a discount code, so I'm not paying a lot to see Alex Brightman and Colin Donnell, lol."

Lol I didn’t know what to expect going in so super low expectations. Just wanted to be entertained for the afternoon. Alex Brightman is the standout and absolutely worth the price of admission. But that’s kind of it. Colin Donnell is a joy to watch on stage but he’s not challenged by the material. And Shaw, could do without him. He bothered me the entire time. I can’t see this show making it to the end of its run. The row next to mine in the mezz was completely empty. And a few rows up, a chunk of rows center mezz, we’re empty as well. Maybe they didn’t want to go out in the heat? Idk but the mezz wasn’t filled like I thought it would be considering it’s like it’s 5th preview.

Kind of wish I spent the extra $20 and saw Grey House one more time before closing but I tried something else.

While I’m at it, this show is attracting the worst of tourists. I should have known this but man were they just awful today. Late comers, crinkly bags, photos of the actors on stage, talking, and the best one.. singing. Shaw sings a bar son and the guys in my row were singing along. The girl next to me and I gave him a glare and he shut up quickly.

Source? Those numbers are what the show might cost if it were 2013. In 2023 they’re not even in the ballpark."

Per an SEC Form D filed on April 27, 2023, the reported capitalization amount was $5.4 million. (The entity name is Amity Island Broadway LP.)

I'd be curious to hear what you think going out in 100 degree is worth. Besides, this is in an air conditioned theater last time I checked.

Just saw the show tonight. I know every audience seems to love every show these days, but the audience did love it tonight. I admit there were a handful of jokes that went over my head, either because I wasn't alive at the time of Jaws or because I just don't know enough about the movie. (I thought I did)

And that line about Trump....the actor was hardly able to get the line out before the audience cheered. However, there were a sizable amount who sat there stone faced even though they thought the line about "What's next? A movie about dinosaurs!" was the most hilarious thing ever uttered in a Broadway theater.

I can't really say I enjoyed it. I think I would have liked to hear more about the shark malfunctions, and the teenage cast members annoyed Rob Schneider or something like that. Watching 3 people sit and talk for an hour and a half was a stretch. That said, no matter how bad the reviews were, my curiosity in the subject would have made me buy a ticket.

Based on what info? Unless you have serious connections to the show, you don't know what you're talking about. I know the producers.

"

it is literally from the documents they sent to potential investors.....

I know the producers. I assure you these numbers are wrong."

great so what are the correct numbers for this show to make its money back minus the tax break?

Can someone post a pic of it?"

You couldn't just go to the show's website? The least important part of the show.

https://aracaeventmerch.com/collections/skb-shop-all?_ga=2.74438426.903870327.1690763437-1709586584.1690763437&_gac=1.216212068.1690763437.CjwKCAjwlJimBhAsEiwA1hrp5quy2d-5UbWUPrQxUC2qjkJ1xy003ZvejMtOSenYntcmHb_XXP8-5hoCP10QAvD_BwE

I actually love that cheezy looking shark pen. If I wasn’t melting yesterday I would have bought it. That and the magnet.

Exactly, Brody. Think the merch sucks? Just walk on by.......

yes and there is an anticipated tax rebate that brings down the recoupment number significantly

The *real* capitalization of this show is $5.4 million. It can technically recoup with a tax rebate if it hits around $3.8 million. However, that doesn't mean its capitalization is $3.8 million. Producers are still paying $5.4 million on this show, whether or not there's a tax rebate. The total capitalization is 5.4 million.

The NYS Tax Credit (assuming it is approved) takes approximately 2 years to be processed and returned to the entity. In the meantime, the producers have to raise the entire capitalization and present the recoupment chart to potential investors with the assumption that the tax credit is NOT given --- and getting it will just be gravy 2 years later.
