While Blonde, Xanadu and Chicago are down this week - they aren't going anywhere..

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.

Posted: 1/28/08 at 5:20pmXanadu must have deep pockets...staying open while filling only half the Helen Hayes?! So much for a "hit".

Posted: 1/28/08 at 5:21pmI can't imagine XANADU is going to last much longer.

Posted: 1/28/08 at 6:03pmSo much for the alleged bump the announcement of Rent's closing would have...
LIVE THAT LESSON!!!!!!

Posted: 1/28/08 at 6:04pmThey 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.

Posted: 1/28/08 at 6:08pmRent'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.

Posted: 1/28/08 at 6:16pmYay 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.

Posted: 1/28/08 at 6:24pmI like to look at the chart at the bottom of the gross list. Wicked's red bar is so much higher than the rest.

Posted: 1/28/08 at 6:32pmi dont think this means that any shows are going anywhere.Yes some are taking a beating like Xanadu, Blonde etc but producers know that these couple are months are going to be tough
