A very high average ticket price, too.

Perhaps A Bronx Tale is going to surprise...

On Your Feet! has to close at some point, right?

Surprised by A Bronx Tale's numbers despite the word of mouth.

Thrilled for the Great Comet, hope they can keep up the numbers.

I'm impressed with Kristin's numbers, I know people had reservations about her selling well

I forgot that A Bronx Tale took the Longacre. Is that the smallest theatre or just the one with the fewest seats that has a show running right now? Either way, good for them. Allegiance struggled there so I'm not pooh-poohing their first week because of the size of the theatre.

I guess Holliday is doing nothing for TCP. also, Erivo missed two shows and their grosses tumble. Can't imagine how bad they are when she's on vacation next week.

I do not want to be the person who screams the show is closing but how much lower can Chicago go? Like how much does it cost to run each week?

I like to see how shows are selling but apart from the top 4 it would seem that no one needs to book in advance; just go to the box office on the day, and buy a ticket as there seems to be plenty available for all other shows.

In Australia we[me] don't seem to be so obsessed about asking where is the best place to sit etc etc. We[me] either look at the seating plan online or at the ticket agent and make up our own mind and buy. That's how I buy most of my theatre tickets.

Am I wrong about the availability of seats if I'm in town for a couple of days and prepared to pay box office prices on the day?

It all depends on the show, the time of year you are in town, and what days you are talking about. Weekend shows will tend to be sold out further in advance than weekday shows, even for the less in-demand titles. The closer you get to the holidays the less availability you'll see in terms of day of walk up sales as well.

Not very much, and the producers don't care if they lose some money here and there. They will not close the show.

I'm not quarreling with the observation except to note that as a general proposition extrapolating from <3000 bodies is not especially sound analytically. But I do suspect there is more where that came from.

I have absolutely no idea what that means---in English please HH.
