Does Honeymoon have enough in the bank to keep running the 3 and 1/2 weeks until opening night? We haven't seen a musical close in previews in a long time...

Unless we all start drinking our coffee black, the show will be able to crawl at least to its opening.

Honeymoon will need tremendous reviews to save it. And of course that doesn't always work. I'm seeing it next week, so I hope it makes it until then. Poor Rob McClure can't catch a break.

The creators and cast of HIV must be in shock. Here is a musical that was to be the smash hit of the season and they are being bitch slapped by a public that is just not interested. What is good for New Jersey isn't necessarily good for Broadway. The producers are taking a bath. Next week's grosses will be even worse.

I know it's a large theater and all, but are those numbers at least decent for On The Town? Saw the show yesterday and absolutely enjoyed it, wishing the production all the best.

Really? We don't have a better way to shorten Honeymoon than "HIV"?

I believe we established last week (or was it the week before?) that a more appropriate abbreviation for Honeymoon in Vegas would be HMIV.

Was anything really thinking Honeymoon would be a huge hit, an unknown film that most people have never heard of?


Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Looks like Pippin & Once will end strong.


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Pippin? Strong? Did you see the number? Under 50% of gross potential?

That's always going to be weird to read. Just weird, man.

How about Honeymoon?

Happy that at least Side Show's grosses went up a bit 10.1% from 62 > 72.1% for their final 2 weeks...hoping they can at least get up to 80%+ for the last 2

"Was anything really thinking Honeymoon would be a huge hit, an unknown film that most people have never heard of?"

I'll overlook that dangling "of" in order to address a more important point - if adapted well, a less-than hugely-famous source can become a terrific musical - look at A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, Matilda, Damn Yankees, Oklahoma, How To Succeed, Fiddler, etc., etc., etc.

On the other hand, hugely famous sources can be adapted poorly into awful shows: Rocky, Wonderland, Jekyll & Hyde, Ghost, A Tale of Two Cities, etc., etc., etc.

Talent still matters more than familiar source material.

Sorry, but the 92 film was a pretty decent hit in its time. Maybe YOU never heard of it, but lots of other folks have. Did it have huge staying power? No. Will it appear on any list of top movies? No. But I daresay most people over the age of 40 likely WOULD have known its title.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I believe rosscoe was engaging in a bit of hyperbole, dramamama; the movie of Honeymoon is somewhat familiar, but it's not a hugely famous movie like Shrek, Rocky, Dirty Dancing, or (also from 1992) Aladdin, Newsies, Sister Act, etc.

According to imdb.com, Honeymoon is #75 in popularity for 1992 films (although I'm not sure what their criteria are for determining that), bested by such hits as Ladybugs, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, Beethoven, and 3 Ninjas, all of which will, no doubt, eventually be musicalized, perhaps even by Jason Robert Brown.

In terms of gross, the Honeymoon in Vegas film places 41 in the top grossing films of 1992. It was a very, very modest hit that never garned a notable following.

Cinderella appears to be ending strong. I can tell you the stage door is madness for NeNe.
