Funny Girl was doing very badly before they stunt cast Lea Michele.  A brilliant move that paid producers back.
They also celeb cast the Music Man revival.  The reviews of the show in the trades weren't exactly kind, but audiences ate it up.  Hugh Jackman is box office gold.
Audiences aren't shying away from shows with issues (Kimberly Akimbo, Merrily, Good Night Oscar, etc), but they always show up to musicals with big names.  
Plenty of other musicals that were splashy and shiny closed (NYNY, Once Upon a One More Time, Camelot, Dancin', Bad Cinderella).
Bottom line, there's the NYC audiences and then there are the tourists.  The Manhattan audiences can't keep a show open single handedly, so it's up to the whims of tourists to fill in the sizable gap.  This usually includes seeing someone 'famous' performing live in a currently running show.
@Marc in Calif is correct that producers are shying away from the smaller shows, as many of their larger show investments aren't paying back as quickly (or at all).  As per the usual, Broadway producers have a few big hits that allow them to invest in the artistic risks.  With theater rents going up and production budgets at an all time high ($15+ million for a new, small musical), I can't blame them for investing in splashy names.

I arranged it one time
 
I asked a regular I use to provide a third
 
that puts the burden on my regular to some up with a compatible third
 
it worked out well

Maybe send him a telegram?

I get the comedy shtick here, but I've also been stalked before,.had bullshit mailed to family members and have had to enlist incredibly powerful clients of mine who were able to help make it stop.
When the stalkers become the stalked, they don't tend to like the game much anymore.
Bitter?  You bet 👍

That’s because that takes a lot of work. Most law firms have a website with a staff directory. You can very easily see who his secretary is. Then call her, and simply explain that although he may be an attorney now, he used to do erotic massage in college. She’ll understand and schedule an appointment for you. She’ll probably make it a surprise for him so when he comes into work with a naked man on his desk, he’ll remember fondly giving massages and thank his secretary with a floral arrangement. 

I too have been wondering if we’re all being played here. But having been on the receiving end of some stalking, I know it happens.

Have you considered sending him a singing telegram? 

There is a technical reason. It’s called he’s blocked yo ass.
