There are only four more weeks until thanksgiving and the usual upswing from tourists so not long now.

Horrible word of mouth or not, seems as if China Doll is going to do itself fine. First week of previews grossed more than their potential. Not surprising.

While it is true that Thanksgiving week, New Year's Week, and to a lesser extent, Christmas week, do bring in higher sales, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are usually fairly dismal at the box office on Broadway.

Welcome to the Million Dollar Club, On Your Feet. Was wondering how long that was going to take to be pushed over the edge. Great show, seen it twice already.

Agreed!

This should be published based on gross vs. previous week (eliminating shows that had a partial week from the comparison)

Why is Hand to God closing in January, not immediately?

It should be interesting to see how Bob Saget is going to elevate ticket sales.

He was not much help to Drowsy Chaperone. But this is a much cheaper show to run, I'm sure.

Glad to see ON YOUR FEET is now in the million dollar club. Do you think it could edge HAMILTON out next year and win Best Musical? I'm tired and bored with the Hamilton hype. I thought FUN HOME and ON YOUR FEET were better than HAMILTON, although HAMILTON does have very clever lyrics. What's all the fuss?

If a little puppet show called Avenue Q can topple the multi-billion dollar franchise known as Wicked, anything is possible.

I imagine Avenue Q had no way near the 18 million capitalization of ON YOUR FEET.

I think Hand to God is still on the radar of cool young theatre people coming to New York for the holidays. It seems silly to shutter now. All it needs is a little boost since their running costs are so low.
