Hamilton with a $1500 top ticket price?? Was there a special reason for that?

That was the top ticket price last week. Because of LOJ.
Also, Chess is on track to break the Imperial top gross earnings next week, no?

If CHESS can keep that momentum up, it sure will. Very impressed and excited it's so strong out of the gate - hopefully they keep fine tuning during previews and word of mouth just gets better.
And while I imagine the new 1-part production of CURSED CHILD isn't losing money at $1 million a week (and I read they recouped a bit ago), it does remind me of the rumor that ATG had the Lyric in mind for EVITA. Certainly 43rd Street would theoretically be a bit more manageable crowd control wise for the outdoor balcony scene, plus having arguably their most premium venue would of appeal. (Spec for another thread.....)

The return of Leslie Odom Jr has proven highly profitable and presumably the prices were raised to keep tickets out of the hands of scalpers.

I think the combined appeal of Aaron Tveit and Lea Michelle is going to make Chess a hit, regardless of how we long-time fans feel about the production (I'm optimistic). My friend and I paid over $200 apiece, for only the second time in our Broadway audience careers, for so-so orchestra seats (the other one was Hello, Dolly!). I was surprised and kind of annoyed by that, but now it makes a bit more sense.

How in the lord's name is Liberation making money? They haven't even completed their raise yet!

It’s a unit set with minimal costume changes and an 8 person cast (plus understudies). I can’t imagine the budget is that high, but even if every person is making at or slightly above equity minimum, I still can’t see a situation where they aren’t in the red. Maybe they are getting a break on renting the theatre since it has no prospective tenants and a theatre is better open than closed
This might be one of those plays that should have stayed off-Broadway

If a typical musical is between 500-800k a week to run, I would wonder how something as tiny as Liberation costs.

Note that they only had 6 performances, so it’s not all that bad—the house being sold is full and $115 ATP.

That average ticket price for QofV is deadly. I thought that KC fans would have frontloaded ticket sales for awhile.. Clearly that is not the case. So, is QofV already an albatross or is KC (whose voice is still great and who still has a lot of presence) no longer capable of selling tickets in sufficient volume to justify leading a big, expensive musical?. (Or is the real issue that, although well-named and liked, she has never really sold tickets. (Clearly, Wicked sells its own tickets and always has)).

The chart says 8 performances but was it only 6? Is that a typo? If yes, it makes things look a lot different.
Gatsby has been looking better again lately. Not sure why but it had a couple real rocky weeks before popping back over $1mil the last two weeks after only doing it once in July/Aug/Sep.
I know it's early but that's really incredible for Chess. Not surprising but still incredible.
I'm really impressed with how steady Maybe Happy Ending has been even without Darren Criss. I thought it might start to show some weakness like Kimberly or Band's Visit but it's looking like it has the potential to be a long-running hit and not just a shorter Tonys bump.

I wonder also if some KC fans simply don't want to tarnish their appreciation/image of her by seeing her in something if it has consistently bad WOM.

Not a bunch of room for a bump. This is a show that is at 98%-100% weekly. Solid ticket prices already.

I would venture Wicked will adjust top price to $400 and it will earn another 700-800K per week.

I mean, last year Wicked managed to pull in a staggering $5mil during Christmas week and saw very elevated grosses in the weeks before and after. I imagine we'll see a similar effect this year. It's always been a consistently strong performer, but it's worth noting the last time it dipped below $2mil was in September of last year, before the movie hype train really took off.

Unless I missed a week, Wicked has not had an empty seat since a few weeks before the movie opened. The movie gave it a shot in the arm that I can only remember seeing once before, with Chicago. Different case, however; Chicago was not doing great business before the movie opened, and probably would have closed 15 years ago, had it not been for the movie.
