I've been assuming there's an extension built in so they could at least get 6 months on Broadway if the sales are there? But if they can't consistently crack a million a week then they'll start bleeding money quickly.

If they gross an average of $1.5 mil a week then they could recoup in 19 weeks. But that would require them to have an average ticket price of about $135 - and last week they averaged $74, which is very poor by modern Broadway standards. If their weekly average gross is under a mil, then they'll never make a penny.

Which investor pool benefits from licensing and touring? (aka, the parent company.) Broadway, or off-Broadway, or London?

They could have done that successfully without a Broadway run."

TBH, I think it'd really hit in the Non-Equity Tour markets without this. Menopause The Musical style."

Totally, this transfer was completely unnecessary."

But I mean, who am I to judge? Marla and Connie are getting money in their pockets from rich people they conned into doing this, maybe a couple Tony Noms. Good for them. Get your coin, girls.

Financially, this production never made sense in the St. James and the licensing / tour argument also didn’t really make sense- it had a lengthy (though ultimately unprofitable) off Broadway run and international productions already. It was already primed to have a long licensing life.

It’ll pick up some Tony nods easily but I really don’t see it winning much- book and Best Actress seem like the best bets there but I wouldn’t be putting money on either as of now.

IF the Tonys are going to give it a win, Book does feel like the best option. It's funny and creative. I think Actress is still Caissie vs Lea.

But they could also give TWO STRANGERS Book + Musical, and then LOST BOYS Score + some tech wins. And then revivals take most of the other categories.

As for noms, I think it will be tough to see which way the wind is blowing for most of the new musicals. Titanique could get a bunch of Acting noms, or it could get zero. CATS is in a similar boat with all those standout supporting players.

Reading these reviews, while there are a few negative ones, many of the positives reviews are raves. Lots of pull quotes. It can only help future licensing. But with business across BWay so sluggish - no show is difficult to buy tickets for - they will struggle unless anyone actually reads reviews other than us. If they do these reviews are pretty good and will draw folks looking for a laugh.

I would also love to see Emma Sofia nominated. So many good performances in that cast.

DTLI Consensus: With its increasing deliriousness and vocal powerhouses, the Celine camp-fest is just as much of a hoot uptown... but is Broadway really the right fit for it?

7 positive, 6 mixed (including the NYT), 2 negative.

Is this a fairly large show?? A 995K weekly nut seems like A LOT for an off-broadway transfer of a parody. Is that figure mostly song royalties?

Thank god for Sara Holdren.

It has a 19-piece orchestra (the minimum for the house it is playing in) and a cast of 17.

1 Minute Critic: ‘Titaníque’ arrives on Broadway bedazzled, afloat & kooky-krazy as ever
4 out of 5 stars

Titaníque arrives on Broadway bedazzled and kooky-krazy, but those who caught it Off-Broadway may wonder what the bigger stage actually adds. Marla Mindelle is as sharp as ever, and Deborah Cox belting "All By Myself" alone is worth the price of a Broadway ticket.

I doubt critics would do this, right?"

"Good" is so taste specific. Titanique is a smart, fun, scrappy show. Is it what we traditionally see on Broadway? That's another topic. Does the show warrant a Broadway bow or was a theater just open? I believe it's the latter. I think critics are trying not to pan it because it's entertaining, but no one really asked for it and if the season wasn't so weak it would not have gotten a house.
