Oh man, what happened this week? Especially for The Color Purple?
And, come on, In Transit doesn't have a chance, IMO...

Oh, I forgot last week was Erivo's vacation week! That makes more sense then.

GREAT start for DEAR EVAN HANSEN. Expected drop for THE GREAT COMET.
Those IN TRANSIT numbers...ouch. The ad campaign is absolutely hideous.

Comet plunge could've been worse, considering the opening night and Groban's absence

Great Comet I was actually expecting a much bigger drop. Dear Evan Hansen has a great start. In Transit's numbers make me think this could shutter by mid-January

Looks like the #BoycottHamilton campaign by Trump's supporters has yet to have an impact.

Why such a large drop at Kinky Boots? Heisenberg is doing really well for MTC, glad that these are their largest grosses since Constellations, I think.
Holiday Inn doesn't seem to be doing terribly either.
I wonder if In Transit will manage to survive on word of mouth?

Happy to see that Comet can still pull almost 90% capacity without Groban. Granted it would most likely have been a worse drop if it had been a pre-scheduled absence, but still, impressive numbers.

Yay, nice job Evan! I had heard they were doing well last week but I didn't think it was doing that well.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

it's clear now why COLOR PURPLE is closing. The show simply wouldn't survive without Erivo.
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.

Word's out: The Encounter is a crashing bore. Take a trip down the base of the Amazon instead.
