I'm really curious as to why Wicked is down again. I mean, 93% is incredibly high, but that's not like Wicked. Usually when they have a downish week the next week is back up near 100%.
Would someone PLEASE just close "13" already? What are they expecting? Word of mouth? Take a hint, producers! Attendance in the 40-50% range every week is NOT OKAY!
I apologize, I thought that was what you were meaning. I read that wrong when you said "off Broadway." :[ I searched back through and I don't see anything. Sorry about that.
The 13 scenario is worse when you consider that it's seating approximately 43% of theater capacity, AND average ticket price is $57.86 when an non-discounted orchestra seat is listed at $111.50. I don't know what the average non-discounted price is when you consider the less expensive seats ($76.50), but it seems that 13 is taking in a lot less than 43% of potential box office.
Close this show! It's bad. You are throwing away good money after bad. And, for what? 13 is boring (the worse possible sin a Broadway musical can be).

For Billy Elliot, does its opening night figure into the its percentage being under 80%? Yes, usually the week of opening night the figures are considerably lower as they don't factor in all the comped tickets in the numbers. I expect a drastic increase in this week's numbers given the Times review and the good word of mouth.

I honestly thought that EQUUS would do much much much better !!! A great play, starring one great actor and another, younger one who, besides being very talented is also a huge star worldwide, plus good reviews and excellent word of mouth but...What went wrong ???
I'm fairly new to this web site but I have been reading some of the threads. I see in the weekly grosses that Jersey Boys is doing very well but I don't hear many people commenting on it. What's the draw? Seems that the show is usually sold out. Thanks to anyone who can give me an opinion on that.
I may not know a lot about theater but I know that I love it.
