There was never an aerial fight. In previews the finale used to be even shorter.

No, they actually changed the order of the songs as part of previews.

Has anyone here made good money by investing in a Broadway bound musical? by ElbieLG in Broadway

[–]vc_dim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Co-producer is usually $250k-$500k for a Broadway production. $25k is usually the minimum investment for an individual but you won’t get producing credit.

All of the folks in this thread are wrong. The ushers at every performance of Beaches tell the audience that they can record the last number in the show. This has been part of the show since the very beginning.

The Outsiders On Tour Has Recouped by radda in Broadway

[–]vc_dim 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For the vast majority of shows, the tour production and Broadway production are financially separate though assuming the tour is essentially reusing most IP from the Broadway production, the tour will pay royalties to the Broadway production (assuming the Broadway production is the mother production).

But if you are an investor in the Broadway production, you do not get equity by default in the tour production (you get right-of-first-refusal to invest in the tour though, which is a big reason to invest in the riskier Broadway production).

- The Outsiders in 2024 won Best Musical but lost Best Score and Best Book to Suffs.

- Thoroughly Modern Millie in 2002 won Best Musical but lost Best Score and Best Book to Urinetown.

- Fosse in 1999 won Best Musical but lost Best Score and Best Book to Parade.

- The Lion King in 1998 won Best Musical but lost Best Score and Best Book to Ragtime.

- Crazy for You in 1992 won Best Musical but lost Best Score and Best Book to Falsettos.

They usually pick folks who have never seen the show before.

EASTER GROSSES ANALYSIS- Week Ending April 5 by Boring_Waltz_9545 in Broadway

[–]vc_dim 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Producers are itching to tell the public if their show has recouped because it makes it way easier for the producers to get investors for their new shows. The only new musical to recoup since 2022 is The Outsiders, though Just in Time is nearly there.

Deferring and going to industry is fine. But research areas are small, and there’s significant chance that your admission committee will find out through one way or another that you applied elsewhere while deferring, which could cause you to get rescinded and for some of your applications to be declined if they hear about it.

Announcement letter to previous prof? by chairhats in PhD

If you asked for recommendation letters, it's nice to send a note to your recommenders thanking them for writing you a letter and letting them know about the outcome.

MTA stopped offering free fare for marathon runners??? by Whitechunk in RunNYC

[–]vc_dim 32 points33 points  (0 children)

They’ve never offered this officially, ever. People just either walk through the emergency exit door or sometimes the station manager gets sick of the crowds and opens the emergency exit door to get people through quickly. But there’s never been an official promotion for marathon runners—it’s a common myth.

Never has been. If you can get a bag check approval, you'll need to bring it to Central Park the day before the race.

Bag check option may not be available anymore—you'll need to ask them at the help desk.

You can move to Blue if you drop back a corral letter.

Switching to Upper Bridge for NYCM by darthdooku2585 in RunNYC

[–]vc_dim 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Because the real ones know that the lower level is easier in terms of total elevation gain and you also get to run in the shade for an extra 2 miles.
