CHICAGO will be fine once it comes out of the Winter slump.

I'm surprised MERMAID doesn't have a higher attendance.

Yup - starting to look more like the winter slump. Christmas credit card bills must have arrived.

CURTAINS - OUCH!

Xanadu must have deep pockets...staying open while filling only half the Helen Hayes?! So much for a "hit".

I can't imagine XANADU is going to last much longer.

So much for the alleged bump the announcement of Rent's closing would have...

They also took out a full page ad in the Times last week announcing they are closing June 1st, so neddy, I don't think that extension you were talking about is going to happen.

Rent's not closing for another four months though. The Color Purple is closing much sooner, and even though it's in the same range it was last week, I would've expected an increase.

XANADU is hoping on getting some TONY nods so they are trying to stick it out until then.

Yay for Sunday in the Park with George! (I hope that I'm assuming right that 92% is good!)

^^^ I agree. I think I post my thoughts on that on another thread...they'll stick around..if they dont.. they might probably just close and tour.

Only 4 shows posted gains

Yup, the New Year doldrums are upon us

Now we can expect a number of good TDF offerings for shows we have wanted to see.

I like to look at the chart at the bottom of the gross list. Wicked's red bar is so much higher than the rest.
