I saw Beetlejuice in DC and wasn't impressed and definitely was not impressed with Sophia Caruso, but I understand it has been extensively retooled for Broadway.
Tootsie has received much better word of mouth from it's out of town tryout.
But, if I was you, I would base my decision on which of those two movies did you enjoy more? They are different types of comedies. I was a fan of both movies, but loved Tootsie more.
I would compare Mackie's nomination to the Tony win for the Priscilla Queen of the Desert win for costumes. Same designer and many of the same costumes from the movie.

Groff had three songs in Hamilton."
Robin De Jesus had none in In The Heights OR La Cage no?"
Andrea Martin won a Tony for basically the one number in Pippin.

Yes it is. Comps usually go to "guests" of the production. For example, I received a comp ticket to Cinderella for opening night because I was the "plus one" of the rehearsal accompanist. They provided her with two tickets for the work on the show. Producers all get XX number of tickets (which

1. See the first comment on this post regarding comps.
2. 94% is the number of seats occupied (sold or comp'd)
3. If you look at the gross amount last week and divide by 8 performance it is about $70k a show. This week they lost about $70k, or one show. Opening night is usually mostly all complimentary tickets for producers, cast guests, press,

That may prove difficult, given their lawsuit was dismissed for being filed too long after his death.
There is an appeal, but without a change in the law based on how sexual trauma works as far as the statute of limitations, it would also likely be denied.
That said, judging from Twitter last night, and the co
Is the Vegas show about his life or is it utilizing his music?
The Broadway show is about his life (or a slice of time of his life) which would be different than a show just utilizing his music. Think The Cher Show vs Mamma Mia.
Social media is buzzing about the documentary. Now that it is being seen by more and more of the public. How do you think it will have an impact on the upcoming Broadway show?

Click on Book of Mormon, then Click on Jump To Years "All"
It will then show you a history of grosses/attendance.
To answer your question. The first 8 weeks in 2011 were all under $1m. Since then, four weeks have been under $1m (1.24.16,2.4.18, 2.3.19 and this week)
Jane Hathaway's performance at the Public theatre a few years ago also suggested someone who could have a strong stage career if she ever decided to focus a little harder on it.
