I think investors don’t see any money from subsequent productions

Unless the show opens and maybe even play 20 or so performances. I could be completely wrong about that. But if the show did have a national tour or went to london, the investors might think there is money to be made. And the covid relief money (which can be a few million for some productions) might require some performances to get it.

The British press have so far mostly been appalled, pointing out American lapses in the lexicon used in the libretto and myriad other insults. I don’t see how it could be comfortably embraced in the West End. And absent a crossover pop song - and it has no standalone number as marketing tool* - it’s a potential box office debacle. It’s also not cheap.

*Ghost at least had the interpolated Righteous Brothers; Uptown Girl doesn’t show up, its generic stand-in no substitute.

I don’t think it even has much regional potential. Maybe a non-equity tour with short stops is about it.
