Producers spent $22.5 million to get MJ The Musical on its feet. They recouped 15 months after opening. Their most profitable week so far on record was more than two years after performances began. Producers know it’s worth spending what it takes to create a hit. Actors and stage managers are worth it.

I help busy people brand themselves through social media content | AI-assistant content machine for influence scaling📈
I want to be the star of a musical. Why not, right? Broadway musicals offer a unique way to express inner emotions. But it occurred to me one day while listening to a song from Dear Evan Hansen: "When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?" It made me think about our need to be heard. But why am I delaying speaking out? → I don't have time. → I'm not good at talking. → I don't know what to talk about. What if, like Hugh Jackman guiding Zac Efron to riches in The Greatest Showman, "Stay in the cage, or you finally take the key," you're presented with a chance to speak out, with little efforts and planning and thinking. 👉 Connect with me if you have struggle finding your voice. 👉 Follow 11Spark for more insights on personal branding and AI assisted content creation.

This is a massive win for Broadway. This is the first new musical to recoup since the pandemic that wasn't around before the pandemic . . . which means I don't think it got "save our stages" $ to restart. So, how did & Juliet do it? From the outside, I see three reasons. 1) It's not just a great show, it's a great FUN show, which is what audiences want to see. 2) They get a family audience, so the average order is probably closer to 3 than 2. Sure, fun date night, but the teens love it, too. 3) The music. Duh. OH and a bonus . . . which may be the most important. 4) It had a $17mm capitalization. In the sea of capitalizations over $20mm, they kept theirs down. The degree of difficulty for recouping a Broadway show is higher than ever. Super props to the great producing by #MaxMartin, #TimHeadington, #TheresaSteelePage, #JennyPetersson, Martin Dodd, and Eva Price. Let's hope this starts a trend! https://lnkd.in/eSXvfd-2

While I may have an acting degree, I've never been a huge musical person. That being said, I knew exactly what I was in for when I watched Mean Girls yesterday. Unfortunately, based on the number of groans that accompanied each song, I could tell a lot of audience members felt swindled. As a marketer, I'm torn... On one hand, from a business perspective, the marketing team made a bold move that paid off. They knew movie musicals don't typically bring in the numbers so they honed in on "remake" energy and won over the box office. A clever marketing tactic, right? 🤷♀️ I'm not so sure. Is leaving your audience in the dark good marketing? Is it good for your brand image and customer loyalty to suggest people are purchasing one thing when they're actually purchasing another? Not to mention the vanity metrics! 🙄 A lot of people either don't like musicals or don't think they translate well to film, and yet these box office numbers now suggest the opposite. How will these metrics impact decision-making going forward? Personally, I cringed at the Mean Girls marketing because it felt disingenuous. If you won't cater to the average consumer, at least own it! Own that your product might not be for everyone – own that it might be more niche. Like Brian Chesky said, "Build something 100 people love, not something 1 million people kind of like." In the end, I recognize that Paramount isn't going to lose patrons after this. So long as they keep churning out movies, they'll fill seats. But I think smaller companies should avoid following in their marketing footsteps – most of us can't afford to disappoint through deception. 💔 If you work in marketing or saw the movie, I'd love to hear your thoughts! #MeanGirls #Marketing
"Mean Girls" had a splashy box office debut, but Paramount's decision to deemphasize that it was a musical "disappointed" some.

Visionary, self-motivated media professional with 20+ years expertise in reporting, executing, and producing Emmy Award-winning television news and arts programming.
Springtime on #Broadway. Over the next month 15….count ‘em 15 more shows will open by April 25th in time for the #TonyAwards eligibility deadline. The overwhelming majority of them are musicals. Last year there was a similar rush to open. Overloaded awards nominators hussled from show to show, publicists pulled out the stops to get as much attention as possible for artists and shows in a suddenly crowded field. In a competitive landscape where audiences have not returned to pre-pandemic levels it seems like maybe this many shows…shouldn’t go on. There are many factors in when a play or musical opens on Broadway: show financing; which theatres are open; star availability and others. But this many productions obviously timed to awards eligibility only makes it more difficult for all of them to get a solid footing. It’s difficult enough for a show to survive on Broadway even with known material…here I am just a few months ago reporting from the #MarquisTheatre on “Once Upon A One More Time,” a musical comedy built around the songs of #BritneySpears. It cost millions to mount the show which closed after only 123 performances when it could not find a large enough audience. A tremendous amount of talent, hard work, and money has gone into each of the shows opening these next few weeks. No question, it is exciting to see this explosion of creativity and life on Broadway and I wish all of the shows success. But I also wish for their sakes that they were not all opening at once. #theatre #musicaltheatre #entertainmentreporter #artsjournalist #opentowork

How Hollywood Glamour Is Reviving the Endangered Broadway Play George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr., Denzel Washington and Mia Farrow are coming to Broadway, where some producers see plays with stars as safer bets than musicals. The pay on Broadway is not Hollywood-high, but it’s not bad — in commercial productions, stars are often given a negotiated base salary plus a percentage either of the box office or of any profit. As with everything on Broadway, finances play a role. The money risked by investors on plays is much lower than on musicals, which tend to have bigger casts, more elaborate sets, and, of course, musicians, and which have become increasingly expensive to produce. A new musical these days often costs more than $20 million to bring to Broadway — “Boop!” a new musical based on Betty Boop that is opening next spring, is being capitalized for up to $26 million. Plays generally cost less than half as much — the “Romeo and Juliet” revival is being capitalized for up to $7 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Of course, the potential upside is also lower. A successful play might return 30 percent to investors; the musical juggernauts (which are few and far between) can return many times that by sustaining long runs in large theaters and spinning off tours. (Of the 24 new Broadway musicals that opened over the last two seasons, only one, “& Juliet,” has become profitable thus far. Two others, “Hell’s Kitchen” and “The Outsiders,” have plausible paths to profitability, but it is too soon to know for sure.) Broadway had been on a remarkable upward trajectory in the years preceding the pandemic, but then tumbled; during the 2023-24 season, total attendance was still 17 percent lower than it had been the last full season before the pandemic.
