Like the still running Phantom, Lion King, Chicago, Book of Mormon, Wicked, Kinky Boots, and revivals of Cats, Miss Saigon and Sunset Blvd to scratch the itch of big shows that returning audiences haven't seen (or haven't seen for a decade).

I agree with this point--perhaps not your larger one that there should be fewer shows--but "Sunset Boulevard" definitely isn't running any more.

Good! Though I must say, my point wasn't that there should be fewer shows... in fact I think I even said I'm not suggesting there should be, i was just wonderful if there were too many for the many running to succeed the way they might if there were less options in a given season.

And While Sunset has closed, for the months it ran it surely took many ticket sales from other shows that people chose not to see so they could fill their slot or spend they money they had to spend on Sunset (in fact I bet some people didn't see 2 shows so they could pay for a pricier ticket to see Glen Close up close, which is what happened to me. For $120 ticket to that, that could have been 2-3 rush or discount tickets to other shows.
