My god the poor box office is taking a severe winter bashing. You poor people out there in the east; maybe one positive from this brutal cold weather is that there must be some great discount coupons out there to get you some excellent seats! Bundle up and go to the theater!!!!!!!
Playbill.com lists the grosses each week sometime Tuesday afternoon.
As you can see, they're are all down a lot, except for The Producers. Frigid weather and post holiday blahs take their toll. Also today's snowstorm, on a matinee day, won't help this weeks figures either.
"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer
"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher
theatremafia, it's weird because Lion king is one of those shows that everyone goes to. It's also the fact that Producers didn't overgross Lion King for awhile and when it did it was only temporary (transalation: when lane and broderick left). And for Wicked after just after three months to outgross one of the most unout grossable show for the past 7 years (yes 7) is just quite a shock.
