There are multiple ways that a tour can be structured and I don't know how this one was set up. Some money would always flow back to the Broadway entity, even without profit (and as it would from any production on any level), but the specifics beyond that depend on the deal. With a tour like this one, there would definitely be profit shared.

But RIGHT down the road at SIX, they were playing to quarter full houses! And MOCKINGBIRD, full! HARRY POTTER in New York doing so well, but couldn't fill a single house in San Francisco. Audiences are so strange post pandemic!"

Moulin Rouge played 8 weeks in Chicago, whereas SIX played 14 weeks. Plus, SIX had already had a 3-month run at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre before it went to Broadway. Mockingbird and Hadestown each only played 2-week stints, already heavily filled with subscribers.

David10086, where did you see tickets for "Hello, Dolly!" for $350?  Was just on their ticketing site, and tickets cap out out $65.
