There goes the idea Ragtime is building steam...to bad...

poor Ragtime, I was really hoping to see better numbers for them. And does Hair not have any discounts out now?? It has a $91 average ticket but it's capacity numbers are low.

With the economy the way it is right now, a lot of people are holding on tightly to their disposable income.

Unless the serious, dramatic stuff either musical (Ragtime) or play (God of Carnage/Oleanna) has a must-see star in it, it is less likely to succeed in this climate. (Just my opinion of course.)

To bring in the bucks — bring in the fun.

That's just it, not looking good right now. All of that can change in the weeks to come. Publicity hasn't been the greatest but I hear it should start picking up. Whoopi was the beginning.

FINIAN'S RAINBOW is building. It's building slowly, but at least making gains. It's a light, fun show and shoudl do well over teh holidays. But, given the reviews, it should be doing better.

RAGTIME should be doing a lot better, and this will be the decision week for the producers. It seems all the New York area people who wanted to see it, went to Washington last spring and saw it there.

HAIR is running out of steam. I wonder if when the show moves to London in the spring, the producers will elect not to replace the cast and call it a run.

It's a shame Ragtime isn't doing better. Such an excellent production of a great show.

Memphis is hanging in there.

I'd like to request that in honor of Garth Drabinsky's planned return to producing all Ragtime grosses for this month be artificially inflated by 25%.
