"Water for Elephants, a circus romance adapted from Sara Gruen's best-selling novel, is set to close on Broadway on Dec. 8 due to box office struggles."
"With a capitalization of up to $25 million, the expensive production saw 25 previews and 301 performances yet could not sustain its high costs."
"Despite enthusiastic reviews, including one from Jesse Green of The New York Times, audience attendance dropped to an average of just 62 percent during its final week."
"The production's high expenses and failure to recoup at the box office highlight a challenging time for big-budget musicals on Broadway post-pandemic."
