If you are coming into the city and you have two kids, a boy and a girl, invariably the boy said, oh, I don't want to see that. That's a girl's story. So they choose another show that everyone's happy with. There are people who feel like, I don't need to see that on Broadway. I saw the movie. Not really comprehending that a good adaptation has its own vocabulary. It's not just the movie on stage.

If a movie is associated with a star, as was Legally Blonde with Reese Witherspoon, well, is Reese in it? No. I'll go see something else.

It went on the road, a several year U.S. tour, which did recruit and made a profit. It went to London, where it did make a small profit. And that U.K. company then turned into a U.K. tour. That went to Ireland and other countries, and that was very profitable, too. So how can a middling Broadway show do so much better on the road? The houses are bigger.

There are some tour houses that are over 2,000 seats. When you come to New York, you have a choice of, let's say, 30 shows. When you're in Cleveland, usually you're the only one or you're one of two. So it's more focused and you do pretty well. And tours usually cost a whole lot less.

That show is done so many times in so many different high schools in so many different languages. The year before the pandemic, and that's the last report I recall seeing, it was 300 or 400 productions in one year.

Yes, it was done everywhere. And if you think about it, Stephen, the casting is very easy for a school. It has enough males, it has enough females. The songs aren't terribly difficult to sing. And it speaks to high school kids and certainly younger women because the message is you don't ever have to dumb yourself down.

If you're the producer of a show, you're like a parent. And that's like asking you, do you ever stop working with your children? I don't think so. They could be 30 years old. You're still going to be working.
