"You would think wicked would be up for wicked day"
They gave out 50 extra lottery tickets yesterday, I think for both shows. So...no.

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.

Something Rotten may as well be playing The Minetta Lane. How many millions has this turkey lost? More foolish producing....should have closed last June and gone out on tour to save the money.

Hamilton sold out including sro in both frames.
@evic "Something Rotten may as well be playing The Minetta Lane. How many millions has this turkey lost? More foolish producing....should have closed last June and gone out on tour to save the money."
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.

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.

And I was just making the point that (a) 750 people cannot fit in the Minetta and that (b) in the previous 3 frames the show made money I am not a big fan of the show but I am even less a fan of people who choose a bad week for Bwy as a base from which to conjure doom. The show is closing 2 months from tomorrow. Strategically that's the most financially sound decision.

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?

It is not my impression the nut is that high, which would of course alter the amount recouped. FWIW in Sept when the closing was announced the producer told the Times that he was not sure it would recoup before closing which, unless flagrantly misleading, would not be consistent with your numbers. In any event, packing it in right now does not seem to me to be a reasonable expectation.

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.

Happy that Waitress is still going strong and that NPTGC is getting off to such a good start.
