The theatre holds 1,671 people for christ sake. So even at a THIRD capacity, I'd think they're doing better than you might expect at first glance. And that is only for one night at half capacity. That is quite the success for a theatrical presentation.

Meanwhile, it is clearly easy to see that Disney has not given the time, effort, or budget to marketing this show. Your logic is just not backed up by anything. Even though the show has been playing on Broadway since 1988. But if it isn't consistently the talk of the town, or it gets no advertisement, then why would anyone know about it?

In regard to specifically Drawn to Life, I am pretty sure a lot of people are not aware of its existence. And they seem to be staying very busy even after the pandemic.
