Man, and I thought In Transit was delusional.

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

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!

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

The Blonde in the Thunderbird

Average ticket price: $11.02 for the week ending 7/17/05

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).

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.
