Explain the difference between a TV show being kicked off a channel and not picked up by another, and a Broadway show being kicked out of a theatre and not having another theatre to go to.

[(Anonymous)]

TV and Broadway are two entirely different mediums and the politics are different?

[(Anonymous)]

End result looks very similar, tho

[(Anonymous)]

The end results might "look" similar, but it's just not correct to say the show was closed or canceled. It was kicked out of its venue for celebrity money. When a show closes it's usually a decision made by the showrunners themselves. This was different.

If you aren't super into Broadway then it might be meaningless to you, but the fact that a show that was doing well (an original show with an original score, small performers, etc) was actively thrown out of its theatre for a revival no one really cared about except for the Big Name Celeb? A very clear example of the problems with Broadway.

NAYRT—Beetlejuice was still in its original run, but it’s an adaptation of an existing work, not an original show.

[(Anonymous)]

It wasn't as if no one else wanted to take Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice was kicked out of their theater because of Hugh Jackman $$$. They didn't close or cancel. They were forced out of their venue. It's really uncommon for a TV show to be "kicked off a channel". They're usually just not renewed. It's important to talk about these distinctions because if a show closes simply because they're not doing well, that's one thing, but Beetlejuice was actively increasing sales and becoming more and more popular. The Broadway Elite just didn't care. They didn't like Beetlejuice and Hugh Jackman $$$ was more important. It was incredibly shitty.

[(Anonymous)]

In the case of Beetlejuice, it's more like a show that was starting to get good ratings and gain popularity gets cancelled because there was a clause in the producer's contract that they have to give up their timeslot if the ratings drop below a certain number and the producers of another show call in that clause pointing to ratings from before it started to get popular.
