Home for the Holidays made $63K this week! Should we expect a recoupment press release soon?

They averaged ~320 per performance in a theatre that holds around 1,228 people.
That's just plain sad.

Not so sure. It was a bad week for ALL family/kid shows. I predict Spongebob will do better during these upcoming holiday weeks.

Yes it is. This should of played Off-Broadway instead. Or a much smaller theater (Hayes). They'd be better off closing off the mezzanine. I still feel bad for anyone that bought a ticket to this mess.
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.

It's mindboggling that anyone thought that assortment of people- even that many of them!- would get people to buy tickets.

If that's the case, OOTI's days are as well.

They may done like The Parisian Woman and added in a Monday night show to cover the day off after opening (The Parisian Woman took Friday night off after their Thursday opening last week).

I really hope Spongebob gets some good reviews tonight!

If that's the best that Spongebob can do after aiming that bizarre number at their target audience at the Thanksgiving parade, it doesn't look good. (I actually can't believe I'm discussing such a project, which, from what little I've seen, belongs on ice, in front of infants.)

It's settling in nicely. The show sold 1000 less tickets, but the average ticket price was up! And it was the highest grossing week yet!

On ticketmaster they are selling those seats though...
#18Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 12/3/17
Posted: 12/4/17 at 5:00pmBased on total available seats, seats sold & capacity %; they're only capable of selling 1,400 seats per performance. The Palace holds ~1,750. Whoever bought a balcony ticket is likely getting moved to the mezzanine.

It's a shame because I really enjoy the show but the OOTI numbers are very distressing.

Posted: 12/4/17 at 11:15pmBenanti posted about a five show weekend, so they might have added a Sunday night performance to make up for the day off after opening.
