Yeah, Cate brought in about as many people to one show as The Encounter did all week.

It was very cold. Maybe there were cancellations or fewer people buying tickets day of. Just conjecture.

I continue to be surprised at A Bronx Tale. Maybe I should see it.

It's nice to see Holiday Inn doing a little better. I'm not sure if it's a normal boost from more theatregoers in general or specific to the show's holiday theme. Or maybe it's a post-parade performance bump. Either way, good for them.

Oof, In Transit. I feel like voices taking the place of instruments works with show choirs because they are often singing popular songs. I'm not sure I could sit through a whole show like that and fight to focus on the main voice in the songs/scene. A cappella doesn't have to be this way but this is very much in the show choir vein.

What happened to Les Liaisons Dangereuses? Why did their numbers suddenly drop off.

I'm happy that it seems like Matilda will finish strong.

I forgot The Humans was still running.

Nice to see the Something Rotten grosses up a bit. Will be nice to see them go out strongly.

Also nice to see School of Rock over a million.

re: The Present

That's a LOT of money for a first preview. 111% of potential? Wow.

I guess we wont be seeing discounted preview tickets any more.

Just staggering -- the show isn't even frozen yet.....

I forget (living in the depressed Midwest) just how much money there is sloshing around NYC these days. $144 average ticket sold.

Well, good for them, I suppose.
