Click below to access all the grosses from all the shows for the week ending 3/24/2013 in BroadwayWorld.com's grosses section.
Also, you will find information on each show's historical grosses, cumulative grosses and other statistics on how each show stacked up this week and in the past.
Will be interesting if the Newsies free ticket lottery dent sales in any way, I think the decrease in gross despite increased attendance is the reason.
I'm really not too worried about Matilda's grosses, it has yet to open, there were discounts before it stated previews, but they have since been pulled, and word is quickly spreading. Once the reviews hit I'm sure we will all be singing a different tune! Plus, over $800K in previews is still pretty darn good!
Realize that Matilda is only playing 7 performances a week during previews, so if it did do a 8 performance week the show would have made 966,000. Add to that the fact that the producers have publicly stated that they learned from the mistakes of Billy Elliot and that they have been able to cut down the running cost from what would have likely been a profit killing $800,000 a week to around $600,000 a week.
Cinderella is the next Mary Poppins. Decent musical with spectacular special effects that is catered towards families. I loved the show. I hope it has a long life on Broadway!
I'm guessing that includes standing room although does Motown have an orchestra or are the musicians onstage, the lack of an orchestra pit would allow more seats to be added.
that's SRO for Motown. The Lunt has standing room available. As for The Lion King, did the Minskoff recently add in SRO?? Their capacity is at 100.4%??
and Pippin almost out-grossed Hands on a Hardbody, despite only 2 performances. If Hands... doesn't get some kind of decent crowds the next two weeks, I'd imagine it'll be gone.
