I'm really glad to see the jump for GOLDEN BOY, since its numbers have been weak. I want more people to see this show before it closes next weekend! I saw the Saturday matinee and was blown away -- what an emotional play with so much to say and a stellar cast. I really applaud LCT for taking a chance with this play.

Totally agree about Golden Boy. I saw it last weekend and loved it.

And what's the deal with Evita, was Ricky out another day? It goes from over a million to under a million on a week.

Seems to be a trend that many musicals dropped, but plays did better...probably due to the efflux of the holiday tourists

Ricky was out Monday, Tuesday, and both shows on Wednesday.

Does anyone know why Once only had 7 seven shows again?

...and also why their capacity was 110.3%

Amazing that Book Of Mormon had the highest gross of the week. Is this the first time that has happened?

No

Once played 8 shows this week. It's simply an error, hence why their capacity % is at 110.3%. it should be 96.5%.

I was surprised to see Once at TKTS Friday night and snapped up a third-row mezz seat. (FYI, Kazee was out again; Ben Hope went on and was great.) I didn't think Once went to TKTS very often ...

I think it is on TKTS pretty often, but at a lesser percentage of discount (not 50% off, in other words).

when Once has been at TKTS, it's been only 30% off and is typically the first show pulled from TKTS. I'm guessing they only offer a small amount of tickets considering how well it's been selling.

Not suprised to see the drop for EVITA. I was there on Tuesday and the amount of people who walked into the lobby and left after seeing the postings was rather high. Which is really a shame because Max Von Essen's Che is vastly superior.

"Jesus some big drops there."

Not too surprising. Last week was the first true post-holiday week. There were a good number of schools that chose not to split their Christmas vacation weeks, so there were still a good number of tourists in the city through that week after New Year's.
