LM has completely taken 'Funny Girl' off life support. Good for her !

Never would have expected FG to be top 5 again after the huge dip a couple of months ago but here we are

Posted: 10/25/22 at 1:27pmIf there was some grosses betting site, I would put my money that FG hits $2 million mark during holidays.

Funny Girl should just play out the duration of Michele's contract and then close on a high. There's simply no replacing her.
I'm starting to question the long-term viability of SIX and Moulin Rouge!.
Maybe now people are realizing Bareilles has departed Into the Woods.
Most new musicals will be screwed for the foreseeable future.

I think it's more like most of the theater nerds in NYC have seen ITW and tourists probably aren't that interested. I'd imagine it does well Thanksgiving-New Years though.

Six is doing just fine. What are you talking about?
The new shows on the other hand. K-Pop... $60 avg ticket is not good in that small theater.

ITW continues to maintain higher asking price points until a day or two before performance even when huge swaths of the orchestra and mezzanine sit unsold. Must be the producers' strategy.

The midweek performance I saw a few weeks ago was so charmless and over-the-top compared to my previous visit at City Center that I've stopped recommending it. That said, from the conversations I overheard, it seemed that most people near me in the center orchestra were out-of-towners.

It’s interesting we’re questioning the long term viability of shows making well over a million dollars a week
KPOP and Almost Famous are just sad.

I would say that for many new shows. I know I saw Topdog/Underdog last week and, not only the rush seat was $200+ front row ticket, but the entire rear Mezz was closed and everyone moved down to front.
For KPOP to have that number with a production of that complexity and size is REALLY bad.
For “A Strange Loop” it seems to be holding its own - I’ve noticed weekdays are far less attended than the weekends. It’s also a SUPER easy rush.

The only show I continue to question is Hadestown. How much life do we forsee it having?

Lea Michele really just outsold ''Lion King'' and ''Wicked''... wow!
I mean, ''Funny Girl'' is the only show in top 10 that is not on a 10k+ seat theater, that's amazing.

''Into the Woods'' had a really big grop, but they are closing in two months and the holidays are in the corner, it will be a beautiful run anyway.
How much is the weekly nut for ''Kimberly''? I remember the last musical there, ''Next to Normal'', was something around 200k, but that was a decade ago.
''Almost Famous'' and ''KPOP'' will only last past New Years if their producers have really big pockets.

I'd give KPop a bit more time before declaring it anything. I mean, look at Gent's Guide. That show was on the major struggle bus until it snagged the Tony.

What dire numbers for the new shows. Very concerning.

Of note, Almost Famous has only been playing 6 shows a week and it looks like K-Pop did this week as well. Their numbers aren't terrible with that in mind and the fact that a lot of people got $19 preview tickets to K-Pop

I could not be more thrilled for Leopoldstadt! If you have not seen the show yet, please find a way to!

One reason Into the Woods had that drop is because the original extension went through October 16th. I'll be curious to see if this last extension will continue to be (relatively) quiet until the holidays.

What was the reason gross potential isn’t being calculated (or shared)?

Same question. My guess as to why they aren’t sharing it is because gross potential fluctuates so much. I think it was Harry Potter someone here brought up as an example. It’s gross potential would be so low in comparison to holiday weeks. The show was hitting 100% of its selling potential, but was arguably losing money in order to do so.

Kimberly is about $500,000 a week from what I have heard
