The shows most in danger are those without known names, or without big stars. There's a huge push to get legacy properties back out right now.

Producers know that if folks are going to see a show, they need to A) know it's a good show or B) have stars that they like/will sell.

Case in point- they brought back Waitress with Sara Bareillis for a limited run. Known show, sells tickets with her in it.

Also, Wicked is in zero danger unless they decided to fold it. Attendance is not an issue with that one.

Related, part of the Scott Rudin fallout is that right before everything he bought the revival rights to 5 MAJOR shows that folks wants on broadway. - MDH Oct 20, 21:21 1
- Likely why the Gem here in town opened with A Chorus Line. Known popular property that they've done before. Minimual set and mostly amateur cast. -- nm - Meg Oct 20, 22:28
