Happy trails to STEREOPHONIC, Jordan Fisher + Maia Reficco + Philip Boykin, Jasmine Forsberg, and the first rotating cast of ALL IN.
Remember that Nicole Scherzinger was on vacation, and DEATH BECOMES HER had to cancel two performances due to illness in the cast.
Tough times coming up for most everyone, though all but eight shows played to at least 90% capacity last week.

“Maybe Happy Ending” continuing to hold at almost 100% capacity makes me so happy.

Frankly, the only open-ended show that should be worried (truly) long-term is A Wonderful World. Their likely hope is to slog on with minimal losses until the Tony Awards announcement - but that's still more than three months from now.
Do they have deep enough pockets and reserves to make to May 1st and hope for an awards miracle? This is the only show running right now that has an unpredictable short-term future.
This is nothing about the quality of the show itself; only its current selling power and audience interest. Can it go another 100 days until nominations, or is it gone before April - like Days of Wine and Roses last year, coincidentally in the same theatre?
Time will tell, I guess.

Left On Tenth is the most bridge and tunnel Broadway show in years and their gross and capacity both went up last week.
Guess that answers the question on congestion pricing killing Broadway,

For the first post-holiday week of the new year, I think these grosses are pretty fantastic across the board.

That would be sad and irresponsible to the investors if they tried to hold on in anticipation of meaningful Tony nominations / wins. What categories do they even have a chance in that would impact the box office?

Maybe Happy Ending has the most to gloat about this week IMO. What a great hold in a week where a lot of shows took expected big drops.

A Wonderful World has been pushing the Broadway week promo on their socials. If they get a boost from that, they'll be good through Feb. 9. After that it's Presidents weekend. But honestly, there's no way they manage to stay open past that.

Particularly when there's no reasonable argument as of now for it being an awards contender in any way.

I'd say A Wonderful World could potentially nab Tony nominations for Lead Actor (Iglehart), Lighting Design, Choreography...and maaaybe Costumes. But none of these categories feel like locks for the show, and none of them would have any impact on box office. There is no way it makes it into Best Musical, so there is really no reason for them to old out until then. Unfortunately, we've seen that the weekly ceiling for this show is about $730-750K. And that just isn't enough to support a long run with this large of a cast. I enjoyed the show much more than I expected to and there is a ton of talent on stage. But I do expect one last production to slide into Studio 54 for the spring.

The cast for A Wonderful World is not large. Medium size compared to most big musicals. 20 cast members + 1 alternate + 1 standby + 5 swings(1 newly added).

I honestly think AWW is treading water but also Roundabout has nothing to lose by keeping it there. They have no spring show schedule for there and there is no tenant likely circling for it.
The short term uncertainty is valid though, especially since they launch a new kind of rush price gimmick.
Although Iglehart isn’t a producer on the show, to my understanding, his ego has taken quite a bruising with people preferring his alternate, as well the overall tepid reception of the production, which he is signed on as co-director. (This info from connections inside the show). He might try to use whatever sway he has to convince people to keep going.
