So, Glengarry to Belasco?

MHE did 8 shows this week, which would account for the slight bump in gross, but the average ticket price is still dropping and it dropped as percentage of capacity. There is no show that is going to survive pulling in these kinds of numbers, and it's really becoming clear that without the massive discounts being offered, capacity would be even worse. Word of mouth isn't pulling in an audience and unless they get some really stellar reviews, it's toast. My guess is that MHE will to limp to opening night and then close within a few weeks at most. Right now it's just burning up money.

It was a bad week across the board, which is really unfortunate for the shows that are closing (with the exception of BTTF). I hope that they all get a bump for their final performances.

Sad to see the numbers for Maybe Happy Ending, as I adored it and it seems to have almost universally good word of mouth, but they just don't seem to be able to get people into seats, even with the low ticket prices. I hope it catches on but at this point I don't know if they're going to be able to.

Really great numbers for Death Becomes Her so far though!

In addition to each of the new musicals this fall debating early closures, I also think we should start expecting SIX and/or Moulin Rouge! to post their closing notice(s) in the coming weeks / months.

A friend of mine connected to Disney Theatricals recently mentioned that Disney was back talking about a BATB revival but they wanted the Palace back. Looks to me...that may now be an option with Tammy failing.

I don't doubt that Disney wants a Beauty and the Beast revival (esp considering all the talk about it for years) but I really doubt that it would happen so soon. Tammy will be gone by the holidays at best.

I could see Six but I don't think MR is going anywhere. I think Hadestown is more likely to close than MR.

Those are some kind of the worst grosses I've seen for a new musical since Lightning Thief. Tammy Faye ain't going to be around much longer.

So so rough for Tammy! It needs excellent reviews to keep it afloat since word of mouth is over for them. I see it closing before the holidays with these numbers. Also rough for A wonderful world and Swept away, which one will be gone by January?



Great numbers for Death becomes her!

OMG

Tammy Faye!!! That’s bad!

Will they be the new Glory Days????

Weren't there a bunch of pre-agreed dates that Auli’i Cravalho was going to be out? I remember when I was looking for tickets around this time she had always planned to be out.
