There was marked growth in Bat Boy from word of mouth. It was sold out the final weekend.  There is momentum.

Exactly. Sales were not 100% at Encores and it barely got any buzz (unlike Ragtime and Mattress). This was never coming to Broadway, there is no appetite for it, and producers are tired of burning money.

Perhaps a play?

Nah, I still think Galileo will come in. In fact, according to one of SO’s latest TikToks he mentioned they stop clauses QOV for Galileo to come in

SO’s “tea” is 50% accurate - and that’s generous. You could truly just flip a coin on the “scoop” he posts, to determine whether there’s any legitimacy to it or not.

QoV was not stop claused and i'm not sure where this rumor started

Idk, I mean his “tea” and “scoop” has been a lot more accurate recently…

I wouldn't know anything of that, I blocked his TikTok and Instagram channels long ago.

According to its producers Titanique is going in the St James....which makes this season's new musicals QOV, 2 Strangers, Lost Boys, Schmiggadoon, and Titanique.  And the two that fell out were Prince and Dolly Parton. What is going on with how musicals are picked?

Assuming you will be a big enough person to apologize when you are proven wrong. You never post anything useful just spew anger at others. Get some therapy.

I'd heard Galileo wanted to come in but it was feared the St James was too big. 

They can close the balcony, but it's still a massive theatre.

But it's not been lost on producers this season has been a slow one for new musicals. I'd expect at least a couple titles to take advantage. Now, what theatres is indeed the Q...

Yes, the St. James is huge. And Titanique is, fundamentally, a small, scrappy show, developed in cabaret and off-off Broadway spaces and dependent on having a close connection with the audience. I really cannot imagine it filling a Broadway house, aside from maybe Circle or the Hayes. And unless they have some big names lined up, I cannot see it selling. Everyone in NYC who would have wanted to see it already did over the last 3 years and at much cheaper prices. I assume the producers will be pointing to Oh Mary as a model, but Oh Mary struck while the iron was red hot and moved to an appropriately-sized house for it.

They are telling potential investors Jim Parsons is playing Mollie Brown.

I don’t know anything about Titanique transferring or not, but HEDWIG is, fundamentally, a small, scrappy show, developed in cabaret and off-off Broadway spaces and dependent on having a close connection with the audience. It had no problem on Broadway.

Smash made more sense than putting titanique in a big Broadway house.

The reason it worked was because it was not on Broadway. There's nothing wrong with a light season of solid material vs putting in a bunch of flops for a few months wasting everyone's time and money.
