Down in Florida. I had the impression that the week-end was horrific, with bitter cold temperatures and snow (real or threat?). If so, the grosses were much better than I was expecting. I would imagine that week-end performances that were not sold in advance were probably hindered in terms of late ticket purchases, in which case this looked like an almost very good week to me overall, for January and the actual weather.

Given how freezing cold Sunday was, these grosses look pretty good overall. The lowest average ticket price paid was ~$77 (Band's Visit) which is not bad at all. A few weeks ago there were Bway shows that had average ticket sales per person to less than $50.
