Dear finebydesign:

In Novemeber you wrote (relative to "Cinderella":

"This show will be lucky to weather the winter."

Well, I see that it grossed over $1 million last week, and it still has two more weeks of previews left. It sold out the Broadway Theater for eight performances.

Now, maybe critics will trash the show, that remains to be seen, but it appears that the word of mouth you mocked in another of your posts (don't you love the search feature?) has been pretty good so far. True the show has its detractors (though less it seems since some major changes have been made), but the majority of the posted feedback I've seen recently has certainly been positive.

So here's my question: Care to revise your weather forecast?

Great week, especially since we just had President's Weekend.

"Really sad to see this show go as well as having the New Amsterdam dark for an entire year."

They have lots of remodeling to do for 'Aladdin'.

Mamma Mia! Bounced back after what has been a rough few weeks, Cinderella is turning out to be the surprise hit of the season.

Would you guys consider "Newsies" to be losing steam since it hasn't broken $1 million in any of the recent holiday sales, and it seems as if its attendance has declined...

Me too. I really love the show and am rooting for it to have a long successful run like Mary Poppins did.

I notice a trend that LION KING, WICKED, and BOOK OF MORMON are almost always the top 3 grossing shows. I wonder why that is? I know that they are big tourist hits but still, they usually tower over many of the other shows.

Newsies is fine. It's nearly impossible to get a ticket, let alone a discount, on the weekends and didn't it already recoup? Great for Cinderella at 100%! Just wondering, in those numbers, do they count available seats for people like the swings and creative team that watch the show nightly for notes or are those taken out of the equation?

Not too surprised at all the seemingly big leaps in numbers for this past week, considering you had Valentine's Day (obviously a huge special date night), a holiday weekend, so a few extra tourists around, and the previous weekend taking a slight slam from Winter Storm Nemo. All in all nice to see a healthy week in the midst of February.
