Heard from a source that Home For The Holidays will be extending through February before making way for Mean Girls. Announcement should be soon

 

 

 

 

SERIOUSLY THOUGH HOW ARE THE PRODUCERS OF THAT S*IT SHOW OK WITH THIS.

Man, and I thought In Transit was delusional.

I know it's a touchy subject since everyone on here loves Once On This Island, but those are not sustainable grosses. Hopefully good reviews can pull it around? Good word of mouth can only do so much if their gross potential is still so low. 

 

Edit: Upon further research, looks like's it's following the same trajectory of Gentlemans Guide, which I would say is actually the most comparable production.

HAMILTON’s highest-grossing week EVER. Unbelievable!!!

Home For The Holidays actually made less money this week from 8 performances than they did last week with only 5.

And the numbers for DEH are insane! $1,950,000, an average price of $243 per ticket. Those numbers are Hamiltonian.

And this was for Noah Galvin's first week!  I always knew that that Platt guy was holding down the box office.

This is reporting that it is a new house record.

Home for the Holidays---average ticket price $13.51   Do they count comps as "0.00"?   I paid more for that at the local community chorus concert.  :)

Evan Hansen, Hamilton, Dolly, Come From Away, and The Band's Visit all broke their respective house records. What an INCREDIBLE week for Broadway, hot dayum.

Home for the Holidays is at 3.3% gross potential! They continue to amaze me....

Was there any reason for the Hamilton bump? I didn't hear of anything particularly special going on with it last week.

Are those correct figures for Home For The Holidays?  Oh my.

Wasn't the weather very nice for the Thanksgiving week?  I know that this week is always a strong week, but I could see that nice weather would have increased last minute buyers and thus not having to have last minute discount seats.

The DEH figures have little to do with Noah Galvin and all to do with people who planned ahead long ago to buy Thanksgiving tickets before Ben's last show announcement.

It was really gorgeous there for the most part, I can see why more people would have come out. And those house records are the best news I've heard all day!

re Home for the Holidays:

1. I am thinking this may be the lowest percentage gross in history. 

2. I'd be curious the last time a show had a lower average ticket price. 

And in a week that will likely go down as breaking the most house records in history.

Thanks Smaxie. How about in inflation-adjusted dollars

The Little Engine that could: Chicago has already grossed $2.0M more in 2017 than it did for all of 2016, with four weeks to go, including Christmas week.  As long as they can keep the nut down, that show is going to go on for years.  Clearly, it is not the only one that is going to run 'forever'; what amazes me is how it chugs along with modest grosses year after year, but makes enough to stay afloat.  Reminds me more of London theatre than NYC.  (I saw The Woman in Black in a 1/3 filled house in London 25 years ago, and somehow it is still running.  Saw The 39 Steps in a 1/3 filled house 10 or so years ago, and it ran for several years more.  Would never happen in NYC).

Well, with an inflation calculator I found online, $11.05 in 2005 equals $13.91 today.

And---Thanksgiving week is when people start to get in the "holiday spirit".  They should have seen an increase of people wanting Christmas/Holiday music.

Um, if you were referring to my post, I was being sarcastic. I thought it was pretty obvious.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS averaged just 449 people per show and $6,050 per show. This is just pathetic.
