I'm not rooting for people to lose their jobs, but with these numbers, wouldn't closing Lightning Thief just be a mercy killing?

Is there, like, a major discount code I'm not seeing somewhere for Lightning Thief? How are its average ticket prices at $51?

No discount code necessary. They have Orchestra seats for $69."

Also the amount of comps they throw out is insane.

No way Lightning Thief can sustain that through January. Unless they have some rich fool who wants to bankroll it. Even with heavy comps, they're only averaging 421 tickets a night, which doesn't even fill the orchestra! Kind of a disgrace that of all the shows that could have played Broadway and could have employed actors/musicians/writers/stagehands...this is the one that made it.

On a brighter note, what an impressive start for TINA! I wonder if they can continue that momentum or if previews are front-loaded.

Obviously some rich fool IS bankrolling it, so yes, there IS a way that it can sustain through January!

Comps, $49 rush tickets for anyone that asks, $39 balcony, $39 on TDF, plus low attendance overall. They're averaging just over 400 people per performance. Most shows they're offering anyone with a ticket in the balcony or mezzanine to move to the orchestra.
