To recover the investment of US$1,400,000 they will have to sell 70,000 tickets. They already sold 20,000 prior to the official presentation.
To produce “School of Rock” Four production companies joined together and invested US$1,400,000. “Matilda” had exceeded one million. With functions between June 20 and July 28, they should generate recovery of production and profit.
While “Matilda” needed 60,000 spectators to recover the investment, “School of Rock” It needs 70,000, and the first encouraging fact is that 20,000 viewers have already seen it prior to the official presentation, which will begin to generate recommendations and word of mouth.
“Matilda” debuted last year on June 1 and was extended to July 30, while “School of Rock” is running 22 days shorter. Why less time? “It is another country, with lower consumption and more time implies higher production costs,” points out Rottemberg in dialogue with Ambit.
Rottemberg celebrates 50 years of uninterrupted work with this and other musical productions such as “Legally blonde” at the Lyceum, continuity of “Piaf”. “School of rock” It has more than 250 people working on the training, creation and production of the show.
