How much longer do think Matilda's run on Broadway will last? A year? Two years? Has it seen significant drops in ticket sales?

I give it a total of 5-6 years. But what is your obsession with this line of questioning?
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
I feel as if it has another 2 years of high sales, and then 2 more years after that of teetering on the edge. That being said, it's a beautiful show, and like all shows that open on Broadway, I hope it has a long and happy life.
It's already teetering on the edge. They are already scaling back some of their costs. While it won't close before the summer, it might have another year in it. It's launching its tour this year, so that might be a hindrance or an aide.
Wouldn't the fact that they recouped be a good thing??

"They are already scaling back some of their costs."
Scaling back does not necessarily mean getting ready to close. A lot of shows find ways to stream line running costs as their run progresses, it doesn't always mean gloom and doom.
"Scaling back" could be something as simple as changing the covers of the Matilda Playbills from color to black and white to save costs as the B/W ones are considerably cheaper to produce.
"That has nothing to do with anything." If it's consistently been a popular show, it would be less likely to close, since there is a demand for the show. It already broke even, so it's making more money than it cost to originally put the production on.
