If I remember correctly the breakeven for a show is based on musicals selling 75% of its seats at full price and non musicals selling 65% of seats at full price

I wouldn't be surprised if Dame Edna isn't possibly even a bit lower considering Barry Humphries is not only star, but one of the producers of the show. During a bad week, I'm sure Humphries will take even a smaller draw of the gross to make sure that show is still breaking even.
