Amelie and Groundhog Day's numbers aren't so promising...

Right? Did anyone expect War Paint to be doing better than both of those? This season has some surprises.
That's really amazing for Come From Away. I think everyone can admit that they thought it would be having a short life here, when it was first announced, but so happy to see them have success.
Come From Away is even closer to a million! I'm so happy for them, what a beautiful show!!

I would think Lupone and Ebersole are draws on their names. A lot of people aren't familiar with the movie Amelie, and most people I tell about Groundhog's Day think it's hilarious that it's now a musical.
The last few rows for tomorrow's GROUNDHOG DAY were saved for the lottery winners... Do we have a flop on our hands or what?
I guess reviews could change it?
Will THE GLASS MENAGERIE close early? Or will it just run its (limited) course?
"Menagerie" will play it's whole run.
And "Groundhog Day" - I mean at least it's getting people in the door, hopefully word of mouth will spread. And hopefully the reviews will help it.

Some of the numbers for the plays are depressing -- SIGNIFICANT OTHER, obviously, but also plays like SWEAT, as well...
Curious to know what's going on with GROUNDHOG DAY... I guess like little_sally said ... it's a hard sell, plus much as I love him, MR. KARL isn't a star...
The Glass Menagerie is a co-production with Lincoln Center, so it's fine. Plus I can't imagine it's a very expensive production.
I don't think War Paint is that surprising- Ebersole and LuPone have decent fan bases, and neither has headlined a musical like this since 2006 and 2008, respectively. Plus the show has a much clearer (if limited) audience to market to. In contrast, I don't know if Groundhog Day or Amelie have those clear groups.
Guess Groundhog Day is just getting such divisive reviews it's hard for people to go see that with such a crowd led season.
Very good week for Anastasia! Just a wee bit short of a million.
And DAMN. Those are super low ticket prices for a Doll's House.
Reviews could change a lot of things right? If Groundhog Day gets good reviews, and if War Paint gets bad ones?
Any idea on if Sunday will recoup?

A Doll's House is going to need spectacular reviews or it will be in serious trouble. Based on this board, I have a lot of interest in seeing it, but won't be in NYC till the end of May. I also am hoping to see Significant Other, but am thinking that it is at least likely to get a lot of local theatre productions. Ewe have two really good companies in Sarasota, Fl, so I will cross my fingers, if it is gone before I get to NYC.
I am wondering about Menagerie too. I originally wanted to see it, but have lost interest over time because of the mediocre reviews. I also saw the Cherry Jones version, which may have been the first ever that I truly felt warranted its reputation.
What I think is an increasing shame is just how much of an uphill battle plays have if they don't have a star in the lead. Has been bad for a long time, but seems to me to be getting worse, given the grosses of Significant Other, Sweat and A Dolls House 2.
Chicago manages to be healthier than ever in its 21st year -- don't get me wrong, I LOVE Chicago and saw it is Sarasota last week-end -- and Significant Other gets some really good reviews and is dying drop by drop. That is just wrong.

While a review definitely can impact ticket sales, there's never a direct correlation between the two. Tuck Everlasting (unexpectedly) got decent reviews which did nothing for ticket sales, meanwhile a show like Addams Family gets bad reviews but runs for several years. A good review could certainly help, but is by no means going to guarantee the success of a show.

What a bonanza for Broadway. Guess the economy is not so bad. Those premium prices sure help. Damn them!!!!!.

Fourteen shows this week were in the millionaire's club. That's tremendous.

Waitress gets over a million again, and that's with Sara not taking over until the end of the week...
They are going to post some incredible grosses over the next few weeks.
Tuck everlasting didn't get good reviews. I'm curious to see reviews for Amelie tonight.
I wonder if Broadway is also suffering a similar problem as Hollywood movies -- ie, the field is too crowded and they're trying to sneak in a number of shows last minute...
I guess that isn't 100 percent true given the likes of HELLO DOLLY, but a lot of these shows might be getting lost in the mix!
It can't be good for ANDY KARL's career to star in two back to back movie-to-Broadway flops... He should just play BILLY FLYNN LOL
