Final main article of my freshman year at The Review, and it's (you guessed it, maybe) a Broadway piece! This time, it's a recap of what shows stopped by in the 2023-24 season! Writing about Broadway is so much fun. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/epaXA56S (Also as a guessing game, which shows are in the visual done by Lillian Conlan?) it may or may not have stumped the A&C crew!

Creative problem-solver, unifier, and doing my best to improve the arts and entertainment sector from all sides. All opinions expressed are my own.
This is a show that should have run forever, IMHO. But I love and respect that they took this huge risk and then openly discussed what they learned in the process of running Here Lies Love on Broadway. (And if you haven't seen it yet, get there before it closes November 26!) "“When we started this journey to bring this bold and original work to Broadway, we asked ourselves: ‘Can anyone produce on Broadway in a new way? Is there a new path forward? What does the template look like? Will audiences want something radically new? Who will those audiences be?’ “We have learned a great deal about the answers to those questions. Yes, new ways can work. Artistic excellence can be achieved. But the reality is, succeeding on Broadway means not only producing excellent work with artistic merit — it also means creating the audience for it. And how much time it takes to find and grow new audiences is out of sync with the tight timeframes for audience-building and awareness." #Broadway #HereLiesLove #newmodels #learning

Are Broadway shows moving to earlier evening start times? That seems to be a trend as some shows address the post-pandemic decline in audiences, especially from suburban areas. Historically, evening performances started at 8:30 p.m., but have since shifted to 8:00 p.m. More recently, shows have been moving start times to 7:00 or 7:30 p.m. and adding more matinees, catering to families, tourists, and older audiences who prefer earlier shows. Matinees, particularly on Thursday afternoons, have become more popular than Saturday nights. Shows like Disney’s “Aladdin” and “The Lion King” now feature 6:30 p.m. performances on Sundays. Some productions, like “Oh, Mary!,” are opting for two evening performances instead of a matinee. The ongoing adjustments aim to get theaters back to capacity. #theater #broadway #onstage #tickets #boxoffice https://lnkd.in/e3z7Pgyd

We’ve Hit Peak Theater Nobody knows how to succeed on Broadway anymore. The resulting drop in demand has already lasted longer than the dips Broadway saw after 9/11 and the Great Recession. Audiences are down 17 percent since the boom season of 2018–19 with older suburbanites accounting for most of the falloff. “The drop was at 50-plus,” Producing on Broadway, where roughly 80 percent of shows fail to recoup, has always been a leap of faith. Yet Tonys no longer guarantee solvency. It used to be that if a show won Best Musical, it would earn its money back. Moulin Rouge! The Musical, the last winner to open before the pandemic, ultimately reopened and recouped. The next two winners, A Strange Loop and Kimberly Akimbo, failed to break even before closing. That hadn’t happened since 2002. The capitalization of Broadway shows this season adds up to $410 million, compared with $290 million last year, according to Broadway Journal columnist Philip Boroff. Before 2023, only a handful of shows were ever made for more than $20 million. This season, there are at least five, topped by Cabaret, which at $26 million is the most expensive Broadway revival in history. This can’t be pegged purely to inflation. Titanic would have cost $19 million in today’s money In November, Boroff reported that Water for Elephants has weekly operating costs of $960,000; Back to the Future costs $980,000 to run, and Cabaret needs $1.16 million to break even. Before the pandemic, $700,000 was considered to be very high. According to a 2023 Broadway League report, the average age of a theatergoer is now 40.4, the youngest in at least 20 years. https://lnkd.in/ds6a-aeF
