| But I don’t know if it was revised to one play. I doubt Harry Potter will last 7 more years. If inheritance costs $450k/ wk, HP is probably $7-800k. It had stabilized to around $1m a week gross, so probably profitable, but I can’t imagine that is will maintain that for many more years. I’m actually surprised it has stayed at $1m since it’s drop off from $1.5 to $1 was fairly quick in the first year. I think it should have been one play, but authors tend not to revise them to that level for stage. Clearly movies and operas are different. |

| "Angels" the opera was heavily condensed - one might say the opera is more like a highlights reel of favorite scenes. The Comedie Francaise version managed to wrangle the full two parts into a three hour show, though I haven't read how that was achieved in detail. And then Ivo's production was heavily cut down to about five hours in one evening. I didn't see it, but I know he ended the play with Louis and Prior in the hospital bed, so no Night Flight to San Francisco and no Epilogue, among other cuts. I'd guess "Harry Potter" has 3 - 5 years max left in it. The advertising around available seats midweek suggests sales are softening. |

| I may be wrong, but I believe The Coast of Utopia has only been produced once in the United States since its Broadway run ended in 2007. It was put on by a local theater in Houston around 2012 with all 3 parts intact. | |
