Wow!! I don't think I have ever seen so many shows up for the week and only one down.

Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples' Day weekend seemed to give Broadway a lift last week.
Pleasure seeing OH, MARY! in the millionaires' club without any big names in the cast. Krakowski will do wonders for them.
LIBERATION and LITTLE BEAR off to auspicious starts as expected, but folx clearly bought nice and early for QUEEN OF VERSAILLES. How big a plunge might this take in the coming weeks?
The BEETLEJUICE numbers are fine enough, but I also feel it's a little underwhelming? Either way, Halloween + Paytas + holidays should do them a lot of good.

PUNCH was actually up $70,000 in gross, but down in attendance -- meaning fewer comps.

The Hamilton numbers continue to amaze. Great for LOJ.

New York Comic Con was also this week and may account for boosts in some shows

Maybe for STRANGER THINGS and HARRY POTTER --- but I can't see there being much crossover for any of the other shows.

I don't know, a glorified tour stop grossing over $1.1 mil for 7 performances in the third time the show's been on Broadway in 6 years is... pretty darn good to me.

Groffsauce & Co edging out Bill &Ted for second-highest average ticket price is something I bet not a lot of people would have predicted.

Maybe Happy Ending is another one

Liberation's numbers are a bad start, even taking into account the cheap tickets made available. Hopefully the generally positive word of mouth can help.

Death Becomes Her, Waiting for Godot, Beetlejuice, Wicked, Lion King, Aladdin, Maybe Happy Ending... There's a lot of comic con coded content on Broadway. Too bad Boop! didn't stick around. They could have had their first profitable week.

I don't really know what the true overlap of Comic Con attendees and Broadway ticketbuyers would be- I'm sure there's some number of Con attendees who would take advantage of their time in NYC to see at least one show. But Comic Con is kind of a big time and financial commitment, particularly if folks are cosplaying or wanting to get into the most in-demand panels. It's also sort of its own little ecosystem of events intended to keep people nearby. I'm doubtful that it has much effect on overall Broadway attendance.

Locked up phones will prevent Liberation from getting any kind of free marketing and WOM on social media. Understandable why they are doing that but if nobody can post their playbill on Instagram, many people won't even be aware this play exists.

As someone who went to comic con this year compared to previous years there was a SEVERE lack of programming past 7pm so I can see people ending up elsewhere
Liberation is DOA, great show but Roundabout should have remounted it on broadway as a non-profit venture

They heavily pushed Broadway and the Met this year as offerings for after con hours (can confirm, was an industry attendee)

Plenty of people are talking about it on social media. Don't blame the obsession with the pre-show playbill photo. You can post the marquee before, you can post a playbill in front of the theater after.

It's not a commercial Broadway show. It's super niche with no big celebs. It will struggle to compete alongside the starry names and nostalgic titles this Fall.

Will it really be that big of a deal since it's such a short run?

Even short runs can fold like origami swans. Ex: FOR COLORED GIRLS in 2022. Supposed to be a 20 week run that folded in about 10.
I’ll be honest - I have yet to see much advertising of LIBERATION and LITTLE BEAR RIDGE ROAD. At least LBRR has a star and a prime theatre house in the heart of the district. When I went Sunday night, the balcony was closed and large sections of the mezz were empty. If they wanted to drive up early sales, I don’t think the $19.70 sale should have been just in person (John Proctor did it online and they sold like hotcakes).
Also, amongst my theatre people, they are struggling to see why this needed a commercial run. The staggering lack of advertising is a warning shot that, unless people were in the know, they don’t know this show exists.
This could’ve fit perfectly in the Haimes had they not had plans to renovate. But I honestly see this show folding a lot sooner than we anticipate. A noble, but otherwise pedestrian play about second wave feminism is not something that screams “must see” for the casual theatregoer

Amen to all this. There's nothing inherently original or exciting about this play. It's a bit mundane in comparison to the season around it.

Clearly not plenty enough. The show is DOA and will struggle. Anyone who attended that $19 ticket box office opening presale could have told you it would struggle because of how many people showed up. Hint: not that many. Young people live online and social media and lack of pictures and videos will play its part. Only Othello with Denzel could have pulled off locking up phones and still fully sell out.

#24Death Becomes Her will recoup!!
Posted: 10/14/25 at 5:23pm
By my calculation, Death Becomes Her SHOULD recoup in early Spring 2026.
They've grossed $63 Million in 46 weeks of performances. Assuming their weekly nut is $900K that is about $450K profit per week ($1.35 Million avg gross per week).
Total profit of $21.6 Million or about 70% of their $31.5 Million CAP. At this rate they would recoup in about 70 weeks total which should be some time around March/April 2026... Assuming they can keep up these grosses which have remained strong. And there could be some higher grossing weeks with the upcoming holiday period but the $63 Million total gross does include Holiday 2024 in these averages.
I assume Hilty & Simard are contracted until the show recoups. And it's not like either of them have been in super long running shows... maybe they just stay at the Lunt-Fontanne and earn a good paycheck. I'm sure their salaries increase after the show recoups and they could even gets a % of grosses after investors are paid back.

#25Death Becomes Her will recoup!!
Posted: 10/14/25 at 5:36pm
Great show and holding strong!
Re-do your math and try this formula....just for a more likely scenario.
Running costs are over a million. Plus star bumps for over a million and Tony noms so probably over 1,050,000 running costs.
They most likely spent about 1 million on Tonys that has to be subtracted.
The Gross isn't relevant as you need to subtract the fees. Usually about 10% less. So your starting number should be closer to 57 million less Tonys would be 56 Million.
Which would be a take home of 1,217,000 a week less the running costs of 1,050,000. So weekly profit of 167,000 a week. Good but not going to recoup as quickly as you suspect. More likely 190 weeks.
