Hit Broadway musicals are dropping like flies. Let's take a moment to consider what this tells us about the current state of Broadway, which 'reopened' exactly one year ago following the 18-month pandemic shutdown.
“Dear Evan Hansen” and “Come From Away” both opened on Broadway during the 2016-17 season following earlier runs at multiple not-for-profit theaters. Both were still regularly selling out prior to the shutdown and had become leading examples of original, innovative, and timely new musicals.
The lack of tourists is definitely why “Phantom” is closing. When I attended “Phantom” prior to the pandemic, no one around me in the theater lobby was speaking English. “Phantom” also has very high weekly running costs thanks to its big cast, crew, and pit orchestra.
