How is A Wonderful World still open? They must be looking to post a closing notice soon?

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011.

Hello winter doldrums, and happy trails to ELF, SUFFS, and BACK TO THE FUTURE.

Nice to see EUREKA DAY picking up a bit of steam!

Despite the numbers starting to plummet, 12 sold-out titles is reassuring (with a handful of near-sellouts as well), and we're still at a $1.79b pace for the full season, a mere 2% off from the 2018-19 all-time high.

Is it still showing for the week ending 12/29 for anyone else, or just me?

Why haven't the producers of Left on Tenth given up the ghost? This MUST be losing money week after week. I'm shocked they didn't cut their losses and close after the holidays.

So happy Suffs went out on such a high note. I hope it has a long and happy life beyond Broadway.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems weird that when Stereophonic closes on Sunday that for a few weeks The Outsiders is going to be the only show playing in that little stretch of the six 45th street theaters west of Shubert Alley.

Also, $1.8 billion for Gatsby and they only did 7 performances is just incredible to me.

With those Gatsby $$$, I wonder if/when we'll ever see the ART Gatsby on Broadway.

I have to assume Ephron and Margulies must be giving up/donating their salary and are playing to empty houses to avoid the bad press/career hit of having a play close early. Even though it's not a big expensive show there's no way they're even close to meeting their weekly nut. It's also possible the Shuberts are giving rent relief since they couldn't get another tenant in anyway and don't want their newly renovated theatre deemed a flop house.

This was somehow smuggled into Roundabout's season, right? I bet they aren't paying very much rent.

One hit show doesn’t preclude that moniker. HEART OF ROCK & ROLL, OHIO STATE MURDERS, KING LEAR, M. BUTTERFLY, and BRIGHT STAR - all in the last 10 years. All flops that closed early

I am thinking Thank God for the non-profits. At least we can count on regular dramas, even if they don't do that well at the bx office.

I am also thinking that Death Becomes Her's average ticket price for Christmas and New Year's weeks may fill the seats, but they need to go up if the show is going to return its investment on Broadway. Hopefully its average ticket price, as well as MHE's will go up and MHE will not see too bad a dip in seats sold post holidays.

Fish in the Dark, Cripple of Inishmaan, and Fences were all hits at the Cort

Isn't every house essentially a flop house until a hit comes along?

I never said it was a flop house and that ZERO shows have ever recouped but out of the 3 shows that have played there since it reopened two closed pretty quickly and I can see the Shuberts giving them a break in the rent just to let it close its run to avoid "and another one!" Obviously this won't recoup either but at least there aren't going to be headlines about it.

I actually don't think any theatre is a flop house because we all know if a big star is in a show people will somehow "find" the theatre but some producers do look at "well, 8 out of 10 straight plays there in the past 15 years failed" data.

Considering nearly every show had a big drop this week, as to be expected, the small drop for Maybe Happy Endings is impressive. Really great ending for Suffs too.

Obviously, rg7759 was right. Congestion pricing is destroying broadway. That’s why so many shows are down this week, lol

If they play a certain number of performances, the producers get to share 40% of the author’s royalties for future productions. Not sure whether or not they have reached that threshold yet.

Cripple of Innishman, with Daniel Radcliffe, at the Cort--was NOT a hit--it did NOT recoup--nor close to it.

And the Gershwin was considered one of the biggest flop houses (when it was the Uris), until it became POPULAR.
