Posted: 11/20/17 at 4:19pmKind of shocked Dear Evan Hansen was down this week. Maybe it’s because they gave out more comps for Ben’s family and friends?

I’m sobbing over here. Home for the holidays earned 6% of their gross potential! I don’t see it hanging on.

Craziest thing about Home for the Holidays is that someone paid $397 for a ticket, while the remaining 98% of the audience was probably given paper tickets.

$397 is the top premium ticket price available --- it doesn't mean that someone actually paid that much.

Nice to see The Band's Visit hit a million.
Guess Uma is a draw too? I wasn't sure if she would be.
Poor Spongebob. I hope work of mouth helps it along.

That he had a vacant theatre for several months and someone offered to pay for it.
He's a theatre owner and producer, not an artistic director.

Lol yeah this is pretty hilarious. That being said, didn't this just open on the 17th? How many actual performances has the show had so far? The numbers are ridiculous but it seems like they're numbers for like 2 or 3 days of shows, which let's be clear- is still embarrassing, but it's better than if that was their gross for an entire week's worth.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

It says it was for 5 performances. Either way, it's terrible.

I have friends flying in from the West just to see her. They are flying in one day, seeing the show and flying out the next day.
Just give the world Love.

Ah, that clears that up. Still makes me feel bad for the poor suckers that paid $100. Thanks.

I'm not really sure where to bring this up, but I figure this is the place. How is rent typically dealt with at a theater? Is the theater given a percentage of the profits from the show, on top of just the charge of taking up the space? Or is it the same as an apartment or business - flat rate, monthly charge, regardless of how much money the show is making?
Obviously it's all contractual and every situation is going to be a little different, but what's typical?

Jorge, I know he missed the Wednesday matinee, so I imagine that's the only reason the numbers weren't even more stratospheric!
And...I'm not being facetious at all. Is it possible that 5.5% of the potential gross is the lowest EVER in Broadway history? Because holy s&#$ Home for the Holidays. I knew it'd be bleak, but...I'm almost impressed!

I think it's a safe bet that DEH did give out more comps this week than ususal, accounting for 30 less seats sold for the week, which is actually only four seats less per performance, so not exactly a big deal. What I'd love to know is the unknowable, which is the amount of the actual money spent by the people who saw the show last week was, counting, of course, the money spent for secondary market tickets.
Given that The Parisian Woman hasn't opened yet, it really is doing quite well so far. I think it might turn out to be one of those shows for which the reviews will really matter. My understanding, by the way, is that there's no obligation for Uma to extend her run even if the show is very successful. It will be her decision alone.

Let's put it this way: It's pretty unlikely that Home for the Holidays sold many premium tickets. Forget the number of performances, the average price for a ticket was under $15.00. That's FIFTEEN. DOLLARS..

i am glad that Cats and Miss Saigon are major flops. 2 lousy shows that were lucky to run as long as they did their first time around. All due to an ascending tire, one great song and a helicopter.
