60 million I totally don't believe. Even the investment company that's involved with the Back to the Future musical (if it's still happening) has over its lifetime only raised 20 million and that has helped to produce succeful musicals such as Billy Elliot and Ghost.
Even if you could make 30 bucks back on a ticket (which I think is high after all costs) you would need to sell 2 million tickets. Say you could fill a large theatre such Apollo Victoria 6 nights per week (say 2000 seats per night) that means 1000 shows, almost 3 1/2 years upfront. Nonsense. No one would part with that kind of money without a guarantee. Even the sequel to phantom failed (cost £5.5 million to produce) and closed after a year with only a few short term small productions appearing elsewhere. I seriously doubt Bat out of hell musical could even generate as much interest as that did because of the name attached and fact it was linked to what is perhaps the most successful musical of all time.
Even 6 million total would seem unlikely to me.
It's been 10 years since talk of a musical started. There's not been anything concrete to make anyone believe it will ever appear. Just ideas and names attached from what I've seen.
