Cher, head over heels, temptations
I think a worse trend is movies to musical which we have 4 this season also: King Kong, tootsie, pretty woman and BEETLEJUICE.
The new ones are gettin band, hadestown, chill and prom.
At this point it’s pretty safe to say that all the shows that have opened so far are going to close at a loss. I thought pretty woman might be a hit but it has fallen from the million dollar club. Cher is probably an expensive show to run and the weekly grosses just cover the costs without much back to investors. Prom probably is losing some each week. And of course heels and band are closed flops. |
