Wow, SOML. The decision may be for the best. I'm not sure what I would have done if the grosses for next week wound up being 50k.
GREAT news for Shrek as well as other bumps.
August: Osage....come on! pick up!

Posted: 2/23/09 at 3:42pmI wonder what it must feel like to perform for audiences where there is like 10 rows filled with people. Story of my Life was bound to end sometime soon.. It's just too bad that it didn't make it. As for the Disney shows, I can't believe Mary Poppins beat the Little Mermaid.. I'm not a big fan of the show and thought it was a bore when I saw it compared to The Little Mermaid (I love it so much I've seen it 4 times and going again for my 5th May 2)

Posted: 2/23/09 at 3:52pmSOML had awful grosses, yes, but it never played to empty houses. More than half of the theater was comped each night. I think 90% of the audience at the final performance was comped. So thankfully, Will and Malcolm never had to play to "10 rows filled with people."

Posted: 2/23/09 at 4:33pmLast week was a holiday week ... schools were closed, and tourists were in town, which explains the significant jumps, especially for the "family shows".

Posted: 2/23/09 at 7:40pmAll I can say it was a wonderful week and can not expect better. Next week West Side Story will be added to the grosses. The only show not on the gross chart is Distracted. What a great week.
#17re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 2/22
Posted: 2/23/09 at 7:59pmI find 33 Variations' gross a bit surprising. I guess Fonda isn't as much of a draw as anticipated. Hopefully the reviews can carry it.

Posted: 2/23/09 at 8:17pmPretty good week.

The only show not on the gross chart is Distracted.
DISTRACTED is Off-Broadway.

Posted: 2/23/09 at 9:50pmUnfortunately most of those will try for student rush or other discounted tickets. It'll be interesting to watch for any changes in the average ticket cost.
