Wow, "Chicago" did very well...over 770 K, even with the mega winter storm!
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I do wonder if they'll make it to March.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

I'm always concerned with shows that have dropped below 70% entering into the barren wasteland that is January, unless they have already paid off investors and can be run into weekly profit at that point until "the landlord" wants to take a run at a new tenant and a higher gross.
Producers use the same spreadsheets that list payouts at potential gross percentages, and expensive shows that haven't paid back and that can't maintain above 70% aren't paying out to investors. They are just surviving.
I tell my out-of-town friends that January is the best time to visit: Winter sales are on, hotels are ridiculously cheap, and Bway is 2-for-1 during the January promotion.
But celebrities and even great notices don't seem to be doing anything for some sub-70 gross potential shows. I fear notices.

Happens every year, in fact this year seems to have less than average Winter closing.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Totally. We went last January, the weather was unseaonably warm, our hotel was reasonably priced, no waits at any tourist attractions (top of the rock, etc.). Would def plan a visit in January again.
