It’s probably the best original piece of theatre this season in my opinion! Hopefully it continues to gross well each week!

I'm pleasantly surprised most shows didn't plunge after New Year's Day. Good for Broadway!

Also, the Marquis doesn't have SRO, so how are they able to be well over 100% capacity?

A very solid week.

Between Riverside cancelled shows on Wednesday, Thursday, and I think Sunday. I had tickets for one of those shows

Interesting. Honestly didn't think the Marquis had the space for SRO. Probably the first show to offer it in about 20 years.

--Was weather in NYC balmy last week?

It was warm this week. Currently, NYC is in a bit of a warm front through Saturday.

-- Is the first week of the year still the calm before the winter storm...I don't remember that being the case, but these grosses are generally solid, a lot better than what I was expecting. Hell, 13 shows were at 99%+ capacity.Pretty amazing, especially considering that 6 and Funny Girl just missed the cut. Wonder how much FG would be grossing if LM did 8 shows a week, probably another $150K a week.

Good to see that SLIH is doing better than before Christmas...maybe it is s l o w l y turning a curve? I doubt it, but hope so, since I won't be able to see it until May. On the other hand, are we seeing the start of A Beautiful Noise's descent? Seems like a pattern we have seen before...very high early grosses, quickly diminishing as the advance sales wind down??

Were Riverside and A Strange Loop hit with Covid?

Despite better grosses, still a sad time for 'non-event' straight plays. I guess that has always been the case...just seems more extreme, perhaps because of the contrast against themusicals selling lots of premium tickets.

Yes, Riverside had 4 canceled shows and A Strange Loop had 3 cancelations.

"

On another note, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE was sold-out all weekend but their weeknight shows were around 60%. Maybe they should alter their schedule? Tuesday at 7pm, Wednesday & Thursday @ 2pm, Friday at 8pm, Saturday @ 2pm & 8pm, Sunday @ 1pm & 7:30pm?
