Shucked is closing? I thought it was doing well. I don’t suppose it recouped.

Rumor has it Shucked is looking to move to a new theater after it closes at the Nederlander, but whether such a theater will be available remains to be seen. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/shucked-broadway-theater-1235617409/

I think the Longacre or the Lyceum would be a good fit for Shucked. Those two houses need a tenant. I’d suggest a Nederlander house but none are available (the Palace is still under reconstruction).

I knew that from her IG profile. So in her teens she played a much older woman. Seems full circle.

It’s doubtful the show will continue much beyond the New Year anyway. I’m glad it got the run it did.

By new year, KA will have racked up 476 performances, a respectable run. I’m still not sure it recouped. Is there a list of which Broadway shows turned a profit?

There’s usually news reports whenever a Broadway production recoups its investment. Nothing’s been announced regarding Kimberly Akimbo yet.

Has someone compiled a list of hits and flops?

Its weekly gross has likely been barely enough to cover the nut, even for a smaller-scale show. It didn’t get much of a Tony bump and there were many weeks it likely lost money. Of course, Broadway finances vary wildly, but I would be shocked if Kimberly is anywhere near recouping. If anything, it will be a long game, with regional licensing based on the Broadway run and the awards paying back over time.

I can envision KA playing in smaller theaters, though they need a really good cast to pull it off. It doesn’t seem like it could play in high schools, given the moral ambiguity and foul language. Maybe colleges would pick it up.
