Here Lies Love had their best week in a while yet just posted their closing notice, so their advance must be nonexistent.

Time will tell if this year’s few fall musicals will be next to close.

Merrily is still Rolling Along to New Heights!

Exactly where my thoughts were. Sad that HLL did $100k+ in sales, but still pulled the trigger.

A tough week for a lot of shows.  I was surprised too at HLL's numbers this week, I wonder if the rumors of its imminent closing spurred people into buying tickets.  They had a pretty high average ticket price too, all things considered.

Word of mouth on this board has been a bit mixed but I had also expected Harmony to be doing better than what it's currently getting.  Hadestown also looks like it's dipping pretty low there.

I wonder if we'll see any weeks in January/February where Merrily is not completely sold out.

Nothing too crazy here.

Some of us might have been too bullish about BEAUTIFUL NOISE's new schedule saving it. If it drops much more it won't be able to sustain. It should get a big Thanksgiving/Christmas boost, but January & February could be especially rough for a show catering to bridge & tunnel crowds and tourists.

After all the hand-wringing around SPAMALOT, it could have started much worse. Much room to improve, but $100K per performance isn't terrible for a first week of previews.

I didn't realize HARMONY has yet to play an 8-performance week. It moves to 8 for its opening week (week of 8/14). Its average price is not good -- better than Spamalot, but it's selling way less tix.

The winter advance for A Beautiful Noise is not good currently. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a late January closing date.

Spamalot had a $74 average ticket. It did better than expected, but that's really low.
