The results are in! Here is what YOU think will RECOUP this season!
Ok, my Virtual Broadway Investors, the contest is now officially closed! (Insert trumpets sounding the start of the race here).
The winner of the iPhone will be announced on September 1st (or earlier if we have the recoupment results . . . or later if we don’t!).
Until then, let’s see how you voted!
There were 9 shows on our list . . . and the majority of you think only TWO will recoup (which is consistent with the somewhat industry standard stat of 1 out of 5 shows recoup).
What were those two shows? Here’s the rundown of the shows and the results!
