Awesome numbers for Chicago!

A Wonderful Life has got to be announcing its closing date soon. There's no way it'll survive the Winter season.

and Swept Away is ending its journey like the Titanic

but kudos to the producers willing to extend for two weeks only to lose even more money

most are not so generous

Will they have to bring Elf back every year?

I'm shocked it's selling so well. It's essentially toured every year since 2013. I guess if a Broadway house is available next Nov/Dec, it could return.

Shocked by Gatsby. As I said last week, it will be interesting to see how badlyJJ's exit impacts grosses.

Happy to see MHE continuing to go up. It needs to start selling tickets at full price. Either way, I think its chances of making it to Tony season are inching up. Since it has to stay open to May for me to it, I am hoping that it succeeds.

With costs and weekly nuts ever increasing, I wonder what it is going to take for The Outsiders and Hell's Kitchen to return their investments. Either way, both will have big success on the road and eventually in regional theatre (and high schools some day for Outsiders?)."

I think Sunset's drop is likely what happened Thanksgiving week as well - it's mostly family's /tourists who are in NYC for the Holidays and are looking for more family/holiday entertainment. I would go see Sunset once a week if I could afford it - but if I'm bringing my teenage nieces they'd want to see Wicked, Aladin, Lion King - my out of town relatives would want to see Hamilton - there's certain "tourist" attractions and such that Sunset wouldn't most likely appeal to.
Also, as much as I love Nicole in this role, she's not as famous in the US as she is in UK/Europe.

Will be interesting to watch how things progress moving forward

Astin was the only reason I wanted to see this again.

I wonder how many tickets Sean Astin is selling. He’s literally theonlyreason I want to see Elf."

A majority is probably for Astin, but Grey Henson has a strong following from MEAN GIRLS and SHUCKED (the night I went, the stage door was more noisy for him than Sean). Kalen Allen also has a huge social media following that could be compounding here

HILLS OF CALI goes out with a whimper, and SWEPT AWAY will too. Not shocked by WONDERFUL WORLD’s numbers, their audience isn’t in New York right now, and their numbers will slightly rise during the winter doldrums as most shows plummet. This might be one of those odd spring closings.

HELL’S KITCHEN has been dropping a bit in recent weeks. DEATH BECOMES HER did the same this week, but both shows should be okay at the moment.

Most everyone else saw the expected pre-Christmas bump. We’re just under 5% of the 2018-19 record total gross at this pace, let’s keep it going.

The production at the Marquis is so much better than the one that's been touring. Feels like a brand new show.

Not surprised with Elf. I went this past weekend and there were tons of kids, teens and their parents...plus tourists.

The current tour is non-equity and has been playing one week runs. It really shouldn't be. Their one week run in Red Bank in November didn't sell. The Basie never gets one week runs of any tour.
