Wow - pretty impressive for Waitress... I thought they might be close to throwing in the towel after this fall, but the stunt casting is doing wonders for the show. Perhaps this will have a Kinky Boots-like run after all!

I'm really pulling for Spongebob. I hope it garners good reviews, I loved it in Chicago.

As I predicted last week, Meteor Shower breaks $1mil gross. Very impressive for a play.

It was a pretty good start for the Parisian Woman. Grossed close to $600K for 5 performances. And Meteor Shower cracked $1 million.

Bronx Tale keeps chugging along with respectable numbers, doesn't it? I have no idea who the audience is for that one, but it obviously has one.

I wonder what DEH will gross in this, Ben's final week.

Some random thoughts:

Amazing gross for METEOR SHOWER

Good start for THE PARISIAN WOMAN with only 5 performances.

Mraz is bringing WAITRESS back up to the million dollar club.

How do we stop this conspiracy from happening? Obviously Bernadette’s run will be the highest grossing run of all time because she is The Greatest Star of All."



I'll have what she is having!!!!

Probably similar to previous weeks. After all, it's been sold out since June? July? It really depends how many premium seats the producers held back.

I recall for NPH's last week in Hedwig, there were some $599 premium seats sold that week to help with the grosses."

Its actually been sold out almost all of the year. They did a ticket price raise in June or July which raised its weekly grosses from the $1.3 million area to the $1.65 million area. I bet the secondary market is red hot though

Any ideas on why Phantom dropped so much during such a healthy week?

i am not minimizing Mraz's appeal in bringing more theatergoers back to Waitress. He obviously is.

But November is also a better selling month as shown by practically a rise in every show's grosses. Many shows sold twofers or deeply discounted tickets in Sept/Oct. That generally doesn't happen in November and December.

Based on the first week grosses and the first month of shows being thrown up on TDF, I don't believe Spongebob is long for this world.

Week after week,Come From Away's numbers make me so, so happy."

Broadwaycom says otherwise. LOL

Can they be that dumb or are they just selling out to spongebob?https://www.broadway.com/buzz/190355/broadway-grosses-spongebob-squarepants-starts-strong-at-the-palace-theatre/"

No, they're not dumb. Broadway.com is a sales site that exists to sell tickets.. Every article, bit of buzz or gossip etc. is in support of that. They will always be positive about everything because positive sells tickets and makes them money. They're saying something negative about a show is as likely as that show using negative pull quotes in their ads cause they want to present a balanced picture of what critics said.
