Not much movement this week as we approach the lucrative Christmas and New Year's holidays. All the shows are right about where they've been for a while now.

Insecurity controversy aside, happy trails and congratulations to Kecia Lewis who concluded a long Tony-winning run in HELL'S KITCHEN on Saturday night. We also said farewell to Rebecca Naomi Jones at HADESTOWN.

The family business of ALL OUT with a decent first two previews. 

Congrats to BOOK OF MORMON, MOULIN ROUGE!, and OPERATION MINCEMEAT on their respective performance milestones over the weekend, and to ART on its recoupment!

Well, if those numbers for All Out hold, it'll be clearing 1.6 mil per 8 show week. 

Remarkably, it really doesn't seem like we're going to have a winter bloodbath of closures this season.

Not making sense why versailles couldn't hold til the original end date especially if sharie could have done any injury absenses

Well, Cheno did get injured but ticket sales aren't strong enough after Christmas to justify that, Sherie is awesome but she wouldn't boost any sales. 

Strong week for most. Love to see it.

Everything pretty much held on with a little bump here and there. Some things of note:

- I’m still perplexed about the sudden shuttering of LBRR. It’s been holding the same grosses for the whole run, so other than Rudin wanting to pinch his pennies and/or give Laurie a little more rest time before SALESMAN, the rationale is a head scratcher.

- ALL OUT is already up on TDF for Christmas week. I think it’s going to have good and bad weeks (comparatively) based on who is in the show. The lineup is not the murderer’s row of famous faces that ALL IN had and the material is decidedly weaker.

- STRANGER THINGS getting their sales boom - maybe the release of the series and Netflix playing the long game might actually start making things better (though clearing $1.5M/week to break even is a monstrous task).

- I know the gross is fine and the break is even, but TWO STRANGERS needs to get their buns out there and start working the TV circuit. People are going to want to see a Christmas-adjacent musical and now is their time to capitalize on that.

- MINCEMEAT and OH MARY continue to be the most consistently grossing shows and are definitely making the most out of the “We’ve Extended Again!” approach to their marketing and both shows are looking comfortable through their July 2026 extensions. Annoying it might be to some, it does create demand and we as consumers fall for it every time. I do wonder how long the OBC will remain, since you can see on Insta some of them are really loving NYC, while others are working on self-tapes for new projects.

- CHESS did not see a large dip with Lea’s absence, which may bode well in the future, but we shall see. 

- Finally, I think we are avoiding the usual winter bloodbath because there isn’t much to look forward to on the horizon. Yes, we have new plays and some new musicals, but the forecast for Spring is bleak and I’m sure the theatre owners would rather have a show that’s underperforming as opposed to an empty house.

Chess massively cut ticket prices for Sunday with Lea out eg seats usually $541 were $176 and being a Sunday managed to sell a lot of them at those prices, thats why capacity wasn't down but box office was down further again from last week when Nik was out for one performance. 

Lea's out again tonight for her second pre scheduled day off for the start of Hanukkah,  and even with cutting prices neariy half are not sold with a few hours until curtain so they will have more of drop for tonight than Sunday.  Given its the week leading in to Christmas and Lea and everyone is in for the rest of the week they might make some of that up the rest of the week.

Wasn't Michele only scheduled out on the final Sunday (12/14) matinee? Her second absence is in this week, Tuesday night. But I agree, the show can likely survive and do well with one of the trio out.

I wonder what Felton’s compensation package is like and if he’s getting a cut of the profits.

No, she's been scheduled for both nights out since Chess tickets went on sale months ago. her dad is Jewish and her husband is Jewish so having a few days off for the start of Hanukkah makes sense.

On top of that Lea posted all her scheduled days off on her IG stories last week probably so people couldn't claim they didnt know like they did during FG even though it was always noted at the top of the page on the ticketing site FG used.

I'm so happy for Stranger Things. Louis McCartney is working his little butt off.

Do you have some source for her being out for Hanukkah because she didn't do that for Funny Girl.   Seems more a strategic break before all the 2 a day shows coming up.

Does any job, Broadway or not, always give you the holidays you want to take off? What an inane question. She’s entitled to time off for whatever reason and the production is courteous enough to let the ticket buyers know when she isn’t going to be on.

Huh I wasn't questioning her being able to take time off. I was just wondering how that person knows why she took off or what she she had planned in her off time.

I have no problem with scheduled days off for whatever reason that individuals want or needs.  Not sure how you read that way tbh.  I just didn't see anything from Lea that indicated she was taking off for the reason the poster cited.

no just an easy guess. Funny Girl was different,  she was the main star brought into save the production, she couldn't afford to take time off at that point in time when they were banking on her to build the box office.  its a bit different this time when shes one of three leads and given that her days off were the very start of Hanukkah, and she has barely had any family time since August taking that time makes sense with her Jewish family.  It was just a very educated guess.

Prob a lot both. They don't get a break til Christmas Eve. And with the understudies reportedly being great, it's a win-win all around.
