"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)

"Bring It On" was a limited run that got extended two months after its planned closing date. So.

Again another show that is hard to believe made any money based on these grosses:

I wouldn't Mamma Mia just transferred theatres within a matter of a week. It had the same cast etc.

I'm referring to its pre-Broadway tour, not its transfer to the Broadhurst.

Since Mamma Mia has not brought in a tour stop since it closed I'm not sure how it could be included in a list of shows (successful or flops) that had a tour stop on Broadway as part of its itinerary.
Harmonium said: "The tour beginning in January is a different smaller SET contract tiered tour, not a continuation of the current production. This is a loss of millions of dollars, both for the modifying of the tour set and re-tech to jam it into the Nederlander and the potential millions the tour could have made if it had just been kept on the road for another season as it should have been.

Broadway was always meant as the ultimate destination of that pre-Broadway tour of Mamma Mia (which was really only four cities, Toronto, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago, as I recall). By that token you would include any show that had multiple productions out of town before arriving on Broadway such as The Light in the Piazza (Seattle and Chicago), Ragtime (Toronto and Los Angeles) and a good number of others.
