Poor Side Show.

The magic show numbers are astounding to me. But I guess tourists eat that stuff up.

Isn't Side Show playing to less people, but bringing it's ticket price average up by $23 and still making more money than last week a good sign?

Side Show wasn't and still isn't tourist fodder, no surprise there; however, I would have thought Honeymoon in Vegas might appeal to them, but I guess not.

The Holiday or Nene Leakes bringing people in?

ucjrdude, we'll find out next week, but I'm gonna guess the holiday.

Last Ship has Sting coming up, what does Side Show have in its back pocket to save it?

Poor Honeymoon. I was there though on Saturday night and the mezz was half empty, so can't say these numbers surprise me.

The SIDE SHOW numbers are horribly sad. 55% of the house, Thanksgiving week? No one is buying tickets. I know people expected a tough start, but this has to be devastating news. Have they broken even yet? I would've thought $600,000 might be possible this week for sure. Yet they are still below a half million take. People will quickly say "I told you so!" to many of us who thought a different ad campaign, a very different profile would change the game. But it's still just terribly, terribly sad.

Honeymoon in vegas, last ship and side show may struggle to make the end of January at this rate

Any guesses on On the Town's weekly nut?

Any guesses on On the Town's weekly nut?"

I heard this week it's walnuts.

[wecrazy]

Posted: 12/1/14 at 4:38pm

I think a solid guess of On The Town's weekly nut is between $625,000 and $650,000.

Posted: 12/1/14 at 4:42pm

I remember hearing on this board that it was surprisingly low

[haterobics]

Posted: 12/1/14 at 5:09pm

On older shows, the nuts tend to drift lower... just something that happens.

I really do feel bad for SIDE SHOW, especially after getting that New York Times review, they deserve better. Everyone should still be very proud of what they accomplished, this was always going to be a tough sell.

History repeats itself when it comes to SIDE SHOW. Performing at the Macy's Parade didn't help the first production.

If Side Show closes on January 4, the day the Hilton Sisters died and the same day the original closed, I suggest the next revival open in the spring!

Yes, if the percent was so low for "Side Show" Thanksgiving weeekend, it difficult to predict much better for the weeks before Christmas. Sad!

I just heard on CBS news that this past holiday weekend was the best-selling Thanksgiving weekend in Broadway history....up from last year which was the previous busiest weekend.

Not sure exactly what that means but it's not BAD news..

ON THE TOWN lower on seats sold but up on gross and at a higher ticket price on average.

Surprised to see that Wicjked didn't sell out.

Aladdin did excellent business, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets close to $2m at Christmas.
