Wow. -11.6% for ENEMY. Good that no one suffered a loss in gross though.

Theatre is my life. No one can take that away from me.

I figured the major drop in attendance for An Enemy of the People was due to all of the comps the week before, it's opening week.

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Totally thrilled for "Nice Work"...well deserved and a bit of satisfaction for this production that received sneers early on and is now laughing it's way towards recoupment.

The only review of a show that matters is your own.

Wow for Nice Work! What a great week! Wicked didn't sell 9 potential seats and Newsies 10 (but they have standing room, yadda yadda). Suprised how good it was! And what's happening over at Chicago??

And the Mormons sold 102.6% of their seats. I'm assuming that 2.6% was SRO?

Theatre is my life. No one can take that away from me.

solid numbers all around. good to see Chaplin with decent numbers, too.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

"do people only bother to go to the theatre then in autumn?"

October through mid-December is convention and trade show season where every week tens of thousands of conventioneers and buyers descend in Manhattan. Every hotel is at or near capacity. In the evening after a long day of boring meetings or sore feet from walking though hundreds of vendor booths at the Javits Center they want to go relax at the theater.

And this week is Comic Con! SPIDERMAN will probably see a big increase in grosses in next week's report.

@ bobs3, what a shame then for fabulous productions on in summer that had to close early. I see now, autumn productions are going to be more popular...i.e... Tony's then

Congratulations to "Chicago"!! from RC in Austin, Texas

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Oh, why not? People piss all over Chicago around here, but $729,000+ in year 15 is pretty remarkable. Good for them.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Yes....really, it's necessary. Thanks Smaxie! Many ,many musicals have come and gone since the current "Chicago" revival began......and it's still going strong. THAT is something worth celebrating and congratulating! from RC in Austin, Texas
