Certainly not bad for a show that less than a year ago was having trouble scraping together the funds to even open on Broadway.
I bet the investors who antied up are glad they did now!

Posted: 8/7/09 at 3:28amDid we seriously believe it wouldn't recoup? It has been doing strong in the box office for a long while. Congrats to all on a big Hit!

WOW! I haven't read the article yet....but does this break some kind of record??? I remember when Spring Awakening re-couped in 9 months they made a big deal about it....THIS is what FOUR months?
Congrats!

Posted: 8/7/09 at 10:13amGreat job!!!! I should have a long, healthy run. And I thought A Chorus Line recouped quickly(6 months).
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.

I raise my coffee mug to the producers!
Fast as this was, it makes sense. Compared to most shows, I'm sure it cost very little to produce.

Posted: 8/7/09 at 11:43amThat's great; wasn't the production delayed because of inadequate funding/an inability to secure producers? If so, what an amazing outcome!

$5.76 million, according to the article.
The average Broadway musical today costs $10 million.
