It's just October.

You would think wicked would be up for wicked day. This January is looking like a slaughter

Good to see Hamilton back to selling out completely including SRO. Comet's numbers are very impressive! It's not my favorite show, but it's nice seeing original work being rewarded.

Yes, but the three day halloweekend is. Lot of shows were deeply discounting just to get butts in seats Friday and Saturday

Hogan- i was just making a point that it's avg attendance was 750 a night- in a 1700 + seat theater, that is pretty sad. And the show made bupkus last week. If you deduct the 8-10% off the gross gross, it lost money...a lot.

That is not a fair characterization of the show's finances. The show made more money last week than it lost this week. And will get closer to recouping before it closes. And then will recoup on the road. It would be interesting to see what the Minetta looks like with over 6000 people a week. Not sure what your angle is, but it does not hold up under scrutiny.



Im a bit of a dork following the financing of these shows and have noticed not many shows recouping the way they did in the past and Something Rotten looks like it will qualify as a flop. The show has grossed $66M over 88 weeks for an average of $750k a week. If expenses are in the $700k vicinity as is common for shows of its size that would broadly calculate to returning 4 or 5 million on a $14.5 million capitalization. The dollars returned to the mothership from the road production are not very large - Road shows are their own investment tool with its own investors that need to be repaid. Shows need to gross over a million dollars a week consistently to recoup quickly - once you see them slip into 800''s you can see recoupment goals getting further from their grip. What's left of the run and the diminished returns on the road can't make up $10M. Does anyone have a different take?

A show should run as long as it breaks even and doesn't have the landlord looking to replace it. Something Rotten is benefiting from Frozens production schedule vs how Something Rotten expedited the closing of SideShow. I don't know SR's weekly nut but I was thinking it's closer to Kinky Boots.
