Those Book of Mormon grosses are just insane. I'm happy that "Chicago" got a little boost. Hopefully, the winter tourists help boost the attendance of needy shows. 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)

I'm thinking Dead Accounts will be the next to go. Hope it won't scare Katie away for good.

I've said this countless times but I wonder if THE BOOK OF MORMON is killing broadway (maybe killing is a bit of an exaggeration).

At an average of $200 per ticket, I wonder if those who are seeing THE BOOK OF MORMON can afford to see other shows. It doesn't seem healthy for one show to be taking a large proportion of the money.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

^ The people who are paying that price probably don't go to the theater that often.

It's nice to see Scandalous go out with a bang.

^And if they do, they probably pay premium tickets at shows elsewhere, which is arguably saving Broadway.

With NINE shows grossing over 1 million (and two with higher grosses than Mormon), and another two in the 900K range, I don't think ANYTHING is dying.

Most tourists only see one show on a trip anyway.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

and everyone's grosses should continue to climb through New Year's. It's nice to see the three new shows that opened in the spring doing very well(Once, Newsies, Nice Work). can't say the same for any new shows that opened in the fall.

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.

I don't agree with that statement that most tourists only see one show. from RC in Austin, TExas

Pretty decent week for the early part of the holiday season. These numbers should be pretty solid for the next month. Kudos to my favorite, Nice Work, who went over the million mark despite Kelli being out for a few shows. I do feel bad for Scandalous though. Carolee deserved a better fate.

Based on discount ticket sales seating, Cinderella seems to be doing brisk business. Hard to get a weekend seat through early March that isn't rear mezz.

The only review of a show that matters is your own.

RC, do you think it is less? I agree with Dramamamma. When I visit, I see a show for every available slot. But that is the main purpose of my visit. I know many people who come to NYC and don't see any shows. I'm supprised, but it is not their interest. I would say that the average tourist who visits sees one show.
