Posted: 12/20/10 at 4:05pmI don't really follow grosses, but how will Christmas falling on a Saturday affect shows? I'm aware that there are plenty of people that don't celebrate Christmas or have a bigger celebration on Christmas Eve, but I'm curious.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 12/20/10 at 4:09pmWell, there are many tourists in the city no matter what, on, before, and after Christmas. It depends upon the show to change the schedule, which some have. It will certainly not hurt the shows since many tourist come early and go to weekday shows as well, so they have more business during the week as well.

Still too soon, but the trends are hardly encouraging for Spiderman.
Spiderman's $$ per show dropped, and the avg ticket price has declined each week, from $104 to $97 to $95 to now barely above $90 a ticket.
Extrapolated to 8 shows, they would take in $1.38 million. Enough to cover their nut, but not going too far in the recoupment department.
They do have another 2 months to 'get things right' before they open though.

Posted: 12/20/10 at 4:15pmXmas eve on a Friday and then New Year's Eve on a Friday are both bad for most shows. Won't hurt the powerhouses much, or the tourist traps, but shows that are big weekend sellers, they will get hurt pretty badly by the calendar. Seems like the calendar has pretty brutal the last year or so. Halloween, 4th of July, etc.

Posted: 12/20/10 at 8:02pmNot good for Women On The Verge. I was worried about getting a decent last minute seat for this one, but not anymore.

Posted: 12/20/10 at 9:04pmIs there any possibility, however remote, that "Lombardi" will still be playing in mid-March 2011? I'd LOVE to go see Judith Light. from RC in Austin, Texas
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

suprised to see some shows not bringing in better numbers for this time of year(La Cage, Night Music, Memphis, etc.).
I'll ask it again, why did Colin Quinn extend??
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Posted: 12/21/10 at 12:04amColin Quinn is one man. With no set. No costume changes. So the crew backstage must be pretty minimal. He's playing to half-sold houses on average - which means it could be more some days, could be less - but it's still bigger houses than he was playing to off-Broadway.
