So Grumpy Cat didn't make a difference, I guess.

Still waiting for an On Your Feet! announcement. Kinky Boots doesn't look so hot either.

Given the reviews it got and the title recognition, I'm consistently surprised that School of Rock hasn't been doing better. 

 

And yeah...On Your Feet keeps limping along. I can't believe it's been almost a year already!

I imagine On Your Feet has a healthy holiday advance, so no need to announce their imminent closing every week.

School of Rock will continue to do better during times when kids are out of school. Fall will be a little slow but I bet they will kill it during the holidays.

Gosh, it is quite amazing that "Wicked" is down to an almost 77% gross potential. In previous challenging autumns/winters, it seemed able to withstand box office doldrums.  To what degree does this show has built in reserves to deal with tough times?  Is it because there are other shows that are more appealing to audience members?  (Lion King comes to mind).

Wow also Wicked had a 81.2% occupancy rate last week and 85% this week. Has this show ever gone to TKTS? Just curious.

It was there in the beginning.  A LOT.   (No, I can't note when that stopped.)   I got my tickets through tkts when is was very new.  (POSSIBLY still in previews, I can't remember.)
