Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 2/12/23

Generally a steady week again, nice to see!

Broadway "Week" + Not an oversaturation of shows + decent weather is getting Broadway through the winter months pretty well...

Curious to see how shows that banked on the Broadway week discount will do the rest of the Winter. I don't see A BEAUTIFUL NOISE code anywhere and they have a lot of availability this week.

Is this the new post-pandemic normal? I'm not convinced it's because of the weather. Whatever it is, I'm thrilled to see it.

Never underestimate Chicago, regardless of casting.

There were not a lot of shows (or seats) out there. People come to town (and for whatever reason there are a ton of tourists here right now) with the intention of seeing a Broadway show. When you see that all but a handful of shows are toward the high end of the 90s in capacity, that means that a lot of performances were sold out. So what's a visitor to do?

Two related notes: the per ticket averages are not consistent with Broadway week which means a lot of tickets are being purchased above that level. And the shows (esp the newbies) that were selling less than 90% have red flags hoisted, with the biggest flag outside the sole commercial production that had both attendance<90% and per ticket avg <$100. Yikes.

You really do need to give your act a rest...

And that’s a bad thing? Kimberly Akimbo is also papering. Is that bad, too?

Based on average ticket price it doesn't seem like they'd be papering that much? Just taking into account Broadway Week and rough ballparks in my mind these grosses seem alright.

Did I equate it with a show failing? All is asked is who are they papering too and how do I get a ticket?

would love to see a picture of that flag flying outside its home.
