Why are all the new musicals going into a Shubert house?

Every new musical this season is going in a Shubert house except two. Thats 12 out of 14. The other landlords have musical revivals. Does Shubert prioritize new musicals?

I think Ermengarde made it clear. Ok Mods, time to delete yet another useless thread from the FLASH!

Yes because I’m sure a thread about this subject is really clickbait. Please.

1. The subject line says "all."

2. "All" = 100%.

3. Inside it says "12 out of 14."

4. 12/14 = 85.71%

5. 85.71<100.

There is also a little lesson in probability (the dataset for which Ermengarde has graciously supplied) but we will leave that for another day.

Moving on to the ethics lesson. When you present "clickbait," you are in essence saying that your objective is to mislead people. Misleading people is unethical. Intentionally misleading people is heinously unethical.

Unethical=bad.

Heinous=bad.

Clickbait=bad.

3 bads don't make a good.

Be good, guy; it's a better look."

Why are all of your responses on here rude?

I guess rude is in the eye of the beholder. I find it rude to post incorrect information, hyperbole, and clickbaity nonsense that wastes everyone's time. FWIW I also find it rude to post things that are off-topic, as you did.

None of this was clickbait - a valid/interesting question/observation with a good answer - also, DUDE, take a breath and your "ethics" lessons. Is this your first day on the internet???

I have been called out on it before, but the only attitude I have is that I don't appreciate laziness in posts and that's what the OP's was (in addition to having a false subject line). I do believe that if someone starts a post, we should be entitled to something more than a waste of our time. Ermengarde was kind enough to provide a fine example of a higher standard.

I have been called out many times here, which is fine because I stand by my point. Flash has also been called out many times for the sort of insipidity on display in their post. If they want to stand by that, they have every right to do so. But not without being called out. We can aspire to something better, however.

C'est la vie."

I thought your original analysis was spot-on. Essentially I was thinking what you wrote, but too lazy to do the work to support your comments.

Ironically, whether or not they typically prefer new shows to revivals, I would bet that the Shuberts would have preferred this season to get Cabaret and Merrily into a Shubert house over a number (most? all?) of the new musicals that are booked into Shubert houses. I would imagine that, by the end of the season, those two shows will have opened with the biggest advances and probably been the two biggest hits of the season. I have not read anything about Cabaret's sales to date, so it may not be selling as well as I assume, given its prices and the fact that Eddie Redmayne's star is a little less bright than it was a few years ago.
