A BEAUTIFUL week, like it always is. Gonna be rough numbers for the upcoming weeks.
Also, outrageous numbers for Spider-man making nearly 3 million dollars last week!

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Based on these grosses, closing notices will likely be posted for Chinglish, Lysistrata Jones, Stick Fly & On A Clear Day.
Great numbers for Sister Act, Memphis, Anything Goes, Poppins & Addams Family. And Phantom was also the highest grossing show that did 8 performances. Most shows did 9 performances this week. And I'll add that it's really sad that Spiderman brought in nearly 3 million(is that a record??) while shows like Priscilla, Follies & Porgy & Bess had less then average numbers for this week.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Wow that is a mighty figure for Spiderman near $3.
Think Porgy and Bess could be a gonner, some time soon.

Spider-man will be gone by next week.
My jaw hit the floor. Almost $3 Million. Holy goodness. Such a great holiday week.

Posted: 1/3/12 at 4:18pmGot an email for free LJ tickets again this morning on Student Rush.I think it's a safe to say that it won't last the month :/

Posted: 1/3/12 at 4:38pmSpiderman hits 3 mill which just goes to show you crap sells - and you can't get crappier than this show.
#18Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 1/1
Posted: 1/3/12 at 4:42pmThe other thing to look at with Spiderman is that it played 9 shows this week, and the average ticket price is really high. I wouldn't be surprised if it lost close to a million this week just for those reasons alone.

Posted: 1/3/12 at 4:55pm^I'm a little confused by your last comment. Are you saying the 9th performance cost them an extra $1m?
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
#20Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 1/1
Posted: 1/3/12 at 5:07pmI'm talking about the extra performance, plus the high average ticket price helping it get to almost 3 million dollars this past week. I guess what I was trying to say is that I think this coming week, it will be very unlikely for the show to make that much money again, and probably could be down that million dollars they gained last week.

Posted: 1/3/12 at 5:40pmEvery show is going to see a huge drop for this coming week, including the other top grossers like Wicked and Lion King. Why not call those ones out as well?

The Holidays were very good for most shows with Anything Goes cracking $1m for the first time, think Chinglish, Stick Fly and On a Clear Danger are in danger of closing within the month.
