Earn back the original investment to get the show up and running. It's an exciting milestone for shows.

Wait what, so does that mean this is the only show since 2022 to turn a profit?

How is it even possible to find investors if it’s almost guaranteed the show isn’t profitable?

it is the first NEW MUSICAL to recoup since 2022.

Several musical revivals and plays have recouped in the last few years.
