Les Mis closed May 2003. The first revival was Nov 2006 (just over 3 years after original--i think under 3 years can be considered a hiatus and not a revival for Tony purposes) that lasted a year--probably considered a flop. The second revival was Mar 2014 (11 years after original closed) that lasted 2.5 years (over 1000 performances). What is a suitable pause for Phantom? it would need to be several years.

I was thinking, since they're closing in the spring, that they'd wait until early summer and announce that, due to overwhelming demand, they'd be bringing the show back in the fall in an exciting new iterarion that fans both old and new will want to see and experience the magic again. And then this will be the scaled down version that was touring fairly recently. I don't think they care about the awards potential as much as they care about mining more cash from this war horse.
