Chalk this up to the beginning of the holiday season, but it's nice to see most shows receiving a little bump and making some money this week.
On the other hand, yeesh, KPOP.

It's nice to see Kimberly Akimbo rising so well. Hopefully the reviews after opening help it grow.

Mike B outgrossing KPop can’t be good for them.
Beetlejuice is still doing good business. They must have a giant drop off in January.

Um, that KPOP number is a typo, right?

Can Cameron Mackintosh bring himself to officially pull the plug on Phantom (i.e., actually put February 18 on sale), with the show now consistently earning $1 million+ per week and posting the highest capacity on Broadway?

From what I've heard, Mike B's show is actually a good time. It's Gabriel Byrne outperforming that is embarrassing.
Beetlejuice wasn't really doing good business until they announced they were closing. I think they're just seeing a similar bump to Phantom.

I guess the silver lining re: K-Pop is…
if you’re a theatre goer and want to see an affordable show on Broadway, at a $35 average ticket… now is your chance!

FWIW: when Mike Birbiglia promotes the show on his podcast every other week, he literally tells the listeners NOT to buy the expensive seats. He tells people "check out the cheap seats in the back, or look for discounts like on TodayTix."
Seems like he's uncomfortable with the face value price point, and would rather have a full house than make a lot of money. I can't help but wonder how the investors/producers feel about that tactic, but I guess he's confident in the low running cost and low capitalization.

REALLY glad to finally get some good news! Hoping this is the start of a holiday surge!
Neil Diamond and &Juliet having really strong starts is good to see (with Some Like it Hot not too far behind). Do I wish that the Musicals with original music were doing better? Of course. But at this point, I just want some successful shows.
As I said before, KPOP doing worse than Gabriel Byrne (with more performances than GB too) is not a great look.
Leopoldstadt continues to be the straight-play hit of the season, but Piano Lesson doesn't seem so far behind. At this point, I think it's more of a question of when not if it will cross $1 million, but I'm curious if it will take until Thanksgiving or not.

Chicago’s numbers have looked dire before and yet it keeps going. One day it’ll close, but who knows when. Who woulda thought Phantom would close before Chicago?
So many shows doing great. But more than at least two handfuls looking pretty rough: 1776, Almost Famous, A Strange Loop, Cost of Living, Death of a Salesman, Hadestown, KPOP, Take Me Out, Topdog/Underdog, Walking With Ghosts. I know some of these shows have already announced closing dates and/or were limited runs, but still disappointing.
First week of previews for Some Like It Hot not great for box office. But I suppose that isn’t unusual for new shows in previews without a big star to attract tourists. Will remain to be seen if it can build momentum or of it will share the fate of Doubtfire and Tootsie.

Mods, the Take Me Out relauch is at the Schoenfeld, not the Brooks Atkinson..
KPOP at a $35 average is really sad. Does is close right after it opens?
That's a solid start for A Beautiful Noise and & Juliet.

SLIH did well for the first 6 performances. Wishing this musical the best of luck!

That average price for A Beautiful Noise is mind boggling.
I’m curious to see how TAKE ME OUT and TOPDOG do during the holiday season, because those numbers do not look promising. I can’t imagine the latter, being a two hander on a single set, is super expensive to run but I e been wrong before

Lot666, I think Cameron would close Phantom today if he could. He wants to cut off those royalty checks to Harold Prince and Bjornson ASAP. Feb. 18 can't get here soon enough for him. What we should start seeing in the next few weeks is news about Cameron's inspiring vision to keep Phantom alive and fresh for the 21st century (with a new cheapened non-Prince non-Bjornson production).

People on this board keep talking about the holiday season as if the city will be jam packed with Broadway fans from Nov. 1 to Jan. 15. Not the case. Yes there are bumps Thanksgiving week, Christmas Week, and New Years Week, but that's pretty much it. The mid November weeks and early December weeks are pretty dead. The first couple weeks of December are some of the least traveled weeks of the year. So we are not starting two months of strong grosses.

Do you think they'll wait to see what the numbers are during the coming weeks before announcing if Phantom would possibly extend or do you think there's no chance at all?

I think it depends on whether these are still weekly sales or having an affect on Advance Ticket sales. My gut was that if demand was so high that the advance grew they would instead of putting Feb 18 on sale as the closing date would extend it with a new closing date (which I expected would happen after the Christmas season just to max demand at higher prices)

That's just not true at all when you look at the 2010s (pre-Pandemic, of course).
The equivalent of this week was the lowest week between November and the first week of January in 2019, 2018, 2017, 2012 and 2011.
In 2015 and 2010 the first week of January was slightly lower, but that was it.
Only 2014 and 2013 had weeks lower than this week in November. None of those four had any weeks lower than this week in December.

It’s a bit heartbreaking that brilliant productions of plays are struggling as much as they are. I wish Cost of Living went out higher. But it’s the Topdog/Underdog numbers that I can’t understand. Almost every review was a rave, but they can’t find an audience. While a Neil Diamond biomusical is packing them in at wild prices. It’s not great news in my view.

This doesn’t really have anything to do with the grosses; with A Christmas Carol with Jefferson mays beginning tonight when was the last time there were three one man shows running concurrently on Broadway?

How is KPOP only pulling Dana H numbers (and that was coming back from the shutdown)? Are people that alienated by the show not being entirely in English? Would supertitles help? Jeez.
