Tootsie Question  Aug 22 2019, 05:59:14 PM

Broadway Buddy said: "When I won the lotto there were A LOT of winners which means they didn’t sell many seats. I would say October because it’s a little late to announce a September closing. But I want it too last. The audience and my dad and I had a lot of fun during that show."

A sample size of one has a fairly large margin of error. And a larger theater is almost always going to have more discounts, more lottery winners etc because they have more seat


Tootsie Question  Aug 22 2019, 05:04:26 PM

DoTheDood said: "EllieRose2 said: "Tootsie is doing fine (look at the numbers for all the garbage shows that just closed), Tootsie has performed better than them(obviously), so no, it's not closing in September."

Are you looking at the same graph because it's been doing just as bad (looking at their potential growth) as the other bottom shows since the beginning of July. The show has alsobeen on a spiral at the sametime as many shows peak for the


Charlie going Non-Union  Aug 19 2019, 03:20:47 PM

SouthernCakes said: "More so it’s a concern because the wages aren’t bad. Just feel like the union has let its members down by letting this go non-union. It’s not like it’s Bandstand. It’s a major property."

The union didn't "let" it, it's not their decision to make. Charlie was a flop on Broadway - bad reviews and didn't make its money back. That it was able to do a year-long tour was a small miracle in and of


Charlie going Non-Union  Aug 19 2019, 02:51:49 PM

SouthernCakes said: "Just to add to the just of non-union tours this year... oof what a bad time to be a union actor..."

The tour did a year on an Equity contract and there likely isn't enough demand for it to do more than that. 



How much are broadway actors worth  Aug 19 2019, 12:36:42 AM

Theatrefanboy1 said: "A topic came up today how much Broadway performers are worth. Not talking about those that move in and out between tv film concerts and broadway but those that typically are just theatre performers. Would it be safe to say that someone like Stephanie j block would have been earning about 20000 a week? And someone like Charlie Williams or Ryan Steele or Matt Doyle be warning around the 5000 a week. Or am I way off. Im just curious how difficult it is for a perfor

Question about capitalization for Broadway transfers  Aug 18 2019, 05:55:12 PM

There are still minimum rehearsal periods required, the sets often don't transfer, (because they were built in a non-union shop, weren't built to be moved, aren't the right dimensions for the theater, etc.) To Hogan's point, if a transfer was planned from the outset, those costs usually become part of the Broaway capitalization. You'll always need to re-tech the show because a new theater will have different acoustics, lighting positions, stage dimensions etc and you'l

Manilow's musical  Aug 18 2019, 01:11:12 PM

I saw this in Los Angeles and it was pretty bad - the reviews were more or less spot on. Between that and the producer involved, I'm hoping it as least crosses into so bad its good territory.



YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN to tour next year  Aug 17 2019, 12:28:40 PM

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Per Social Media posts, the tour production company came to Cearley/Molina/Bill Fennelly/Michael Holland and was like "we loved the Cincinnati production, we want to do a non-Eq tour of it." When they said no, the tour company decided to do their own actor/musician version of it. (The Cincinnati production was the 1967 script/score, but the tour will be the revised version.)

So, while concepts like this aren't wholly new, and wh


YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN to tour next year  Aug 17 2019, 12:45:32 AM

2 said: "This is most definitely a rip-off of the recent CincyPlay production."

Because the actors play instruments? Not exactly an original idea. Unless I'm missing something else?



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/11/19  Aug 12 2019, 11:15:30 PM

massofmen said: "wow tootsie...done and done. This fall is going to be brutal for them (if they don't announce a labor day closing)"

I would bet on it making it through the holidays and closing in Jan. They aren't losing money. But aren't making enough to put a dent in the capitalization. 



Next for the Longacre!  Aug 12 2019, 03:30:42 AM

DoTheDood said: "I get Percy Jackson is better known than BMC, but at least BMC was able to have a sold out run."

It averaged 82% capacity during it's run, which isn't bad but certainly doesn't qualify as a sold-out run. 



Chances that Lempicka transfers?  Aug 11 2019, 04:11:22 PM

Hamilfan2 said: "I heard they were originally slated to be a part of one of the major non-profit Off-Broadway theater company’s 2019-2020 seasons but pulled out last minute. Not sure if it’s because they have bigger plans or because they are not moving forward."

@Hanilfan2, I heard the same thing. and I bet it was going into the Friedman; MTC announced their season with "One additional Broadway production will be announced at a later date.&


Rename a theatre for Hal Prince  Jul 31 2019, 05:12:00 PM

Islander_fan said: "I believe they can. For example, the Schoenfield was named after Gerald Schonefeld, someone that worked for Shubert but had zero connection to the world of Broadway beyond the Shubert offices"

Would you describe Hal Prince as "someone who directed some shows."



Chances that Lempicka transfers?  Jul 30 2019, 03:02:59 PM

Mike Barrett said: "Title. Not sure how serious of a chance this has and others on here would be more informed. Appreciate your response in advance!"

This season? 0%.



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 7/28/19  Jul 29 2019, 05:30:23 PM

Mr. Wormwood said: "Tootsie is looking rough, behind almost all the closing shows in terms of gross potential %.

I still wish The Prom had tried to hold on, it has had two of its best weeks to date the last two weeks."

Tootsie not looking good, but what is most important is are they bringing in more money each week than the show costs to run, and they are probably doing that, although at this rate it will take years to recoup.

Social media policy  Jun 6 2019, 12:01:15 PM

Babe_Williams said: "I think that in this day and age, its a huge mistake and quite an antiquated view to have such a strict view of social media policy that a production does not let the cast or creatives post anything related to the show--e.g. them getting ready in their dressing rooms or sound check, or stage dooring, etc. (Obviously not talking about clips of the show, that should be off limits). It really doesn't make any sense to me. Is someone really going to not go to a s

What shows are getting airtime at the Tony Awards?  May 29 2019, 11:43:36 PM

I could see Cher Show getting a slot so that the actual Cher could introduce it and get viewership... not sure who else would pay for a slot.

That's not quite how it works. Shows can't just "pay&quo
