Ryhog, of course that's right, and two seconds after I posted my comment I wished I could have deleted it. It's the wraps that matter, and we have no idea how they were affected by the reviews. I hope that they were up big, and time will tell. Having said that, the numbers sure don't look good right now.

I expect there will be some bump but there is a lot of climbing that needs to happen. As I said somewhere else, this is not a show with producers who are experienced either at producing or at being patient, so one of the things to watch is whether they have the wherewithal to weather the storm they are sailing into. (Sorry for mentioning sailing; I know that's another thread.)

Side show producers aren't experienced?

I assume Jordan Roth is running the investment side of the house and he is president of jujamcyn theaters. I was under the impression when he was wanting to bring the show from Kennedy center that he was getting the investors. There are a lot of them listed, but I really wonder how Much involvement they have besides writing the check.

I did not see anything about Jordan being involved in raising money but if you did, then obviously he was. Jujamcyn itself is listed last, which is normally a place you put a landlord who has gotten something in exchange for special considerations re the rent rather than substantial investors. From what I gather, this is Darren Bagert's show. He has been around but falls in the same category as the OTT lead producers. I don't think he has any lead credits. A majority of the laundry list of producers are either relative newbies or first timers.
