Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 12/2/18

Miles2Go2 said: "Torch Song is a limited engagement (closes 2/24/19). I do believe it is not being produced by a non-profit (correct?) and even if box office picks up exponentially it will not recoup before it closes. Maybe if Matt Bomer was added with a naked shower scene... I do hope I can find a way to get to NYC before it closes. "

It is a commercial, limited run production, with 2ST having a small stake/loaning the theatre for it. However, the producers have a HOH-Level of zeal for the success of this show. I doubt it will shutter early, especially since 2ST won’t be able to put anything in on such short notice to fill out the rest of the winter.

I never meant to imply that I thought it would shutter early, only to say that it doesn’t have months to turn things around. I’m beyond grateful to know they the producers have so much passion for this production.

Commenting just because I lol'd at The Ferryman's gross difference between last week and this week...of $13.

(Oh I just saw someone else had the same reaction!)

Well, I was hoping I had more time to get back to NYC before Torch Song closed, but since I don’t I just bit the bullet and booked my flights and hotel for Torch Song’s closing weekend. I’m hoping to see some other shows while there. Flying in Friday January 4 and flying out on Monday January 7. I still remember watching the movie version for the first time on a rented VHS tape on a friend’s television. Can’t wait to revisit it and to see Michael Urie on stage again who along with Mercedes Ruehl and the rest of the talented cast will bring Harvey Fierstein’s script to life.

I also just used a discount code from BroadwayBox to buy my front row center orchestra ticket for the final performance at the matinee on the 6th.


I’ll likely have time for 4 others shows (via TKTS).

Everything I really wanna see is available on TKTS so not pre-buying anything else but looking like:

- [ ] The Waverly Gallery (P)
- [ ] American Son (P)
- [ ] Torch Song (P) Sunday matinee
- [ ] The Lifespan of a Fact (P) Sunday evening

Plus something else on TKTS so:

- [ ] The Ferryman (P)
- [ ] The Cher Show (M) (if on TKTS)
- [ ] The Prom (M)

Or revisit

- [ ] The Band’s Visit (M)
- [ ] Dear Evan Hansen (M) (if on TKTS)

Def see Waverly!"

I’m definitely seeing The Waveriy Gallery. I’ve already told my friend (who is joining me Friday and Saturday) that I’m seeing Waverly with or without her. We’re seeing American Son for sure on Friday or Saturday. I already have my Torch Song ticket for the final Sunday matinee and will grab a ticket (either rush or TKTS) for the Sunday night performance of The Lifespan of a Fact. That leaves one more performance on Friday or Saturday. My friend isn’t sure she wants to see more than one show (she also wants to budget for meals/drinks/shopping). I’ll see five shows on my trip regardless, but I’ve inundated her with a list of shows that are often/occasionally often on TKTS and/or we have a good chance of winning rush for that fifth slot:

The Ferryman (appears to be front runner for best play; often listed at TKTS; I think I’d love it; just wonder if I should break up the 4 other plays with lighter fare, possibly a musical)

The Band’s Visit (that current sale sure is enticing and I’d love to revisit before Lenk eventually leaves the show)

Dear Evan Hansen (would love to revisit, but think my friend will not be willing to pay even TKTS prices for this; am I correct that DEH TKTS prices are $95 - 136?)

The Cher Show (seems fun, but only if we can get it at TKTS)

The Prom (more interested since the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade performance plus it seems to always be at TKTS and rush would seem to not be too hard to win)

I’d like to also see Network and To Kill a Mockingbird, but they don’t appear to be budget-friendly right now, plus Jeff Daniels confirmed on Stephen Colbert last night that his contract is for a year so I have time to still see him in it.
