Challenges Faced by New Broadway Musicals

With the ongoing challenges faced by new musicals, will producers and creators need to rethink their approach to staging and promoting shows in order to thrive in a rapidly changing landscape?
Despite the closure of “Queen of Versailles,” Broadway remains a vibrant and dynamic hub of creativity and talent. While some shows may falter, others will continue to captivate audiences and push the boundaries of what is possible on the stage. As the industry evolves, one thing is certain – the show must go on.
