They’ve just announced the previously confirmed Broadway transfer will be at the Winter Garden Theatre from June 30th (opening night August 3rd)

I’m so happy Hugh Coles is transferring to Broadway, he was amazing in the original cast - his George McFly was perfect

Operating costs are 909k a week. Shockingly lower than I imagined for a show like this. However it hasn’t yet proven to be the cash cow producers were hoping. 42% of profits are going straight to licensing. Also probably why they announced the national tour quite early.

Majority of the reviews were mixed to negative with only a few outright positive ones. Whether or not this will impact the box office is another matter.

They will probably benefit from slim pickings in the upcoming few months.

Some of the new shows aimed at a mainstream audience have already folded (NY/NY) or look unlikely to last much longer (the Britney thing) and the announcements so far like Merrily and Harmony don't have that much mainstream appeal. I also don't think the Rannells/Gad reunion in Gutenberg will be as much a draw as the Lane/Broderick reunion some years ago. Those two WERE the Producers, but Book of Mormon has been chugging on well enough without the original cast.
