Wow, looks excellent for most of them! Happy to see Shrek and South Pacific back up again. And almost 95% for Phantom!

Wow, SOML. The decision may be for the best. I'm not sure what I would have done if the grosses for next week wound up being 50k.

GREAT news for Shrek as well as other bumps.

August: Osage....come on! pick up!

I wonder what it must feel like to perform for audiences where there is like 10 rows filled with people. Story of my Life was bound to end sometime soon.. It's just too bad that it didn't make it. As for the Disney shows, I can't believe Mary Poppins beat the Little Mermaid.. I'm not a big fan of the show and thought it was a bore when I saw it compared to The Little Mermaid (I love it so much I've seen it 4 times and going again for my 5th May 2)

SOML had awful grosses, yes, but it never played to empty houses. More than half of the theater was comped each night. I think 90% of the audience at the final performance was comped. So thankfully, Will and Malcolm never had to play to "10 rows filled with people."

Last week was a holiday week ... schools were closed, and tourists were in town, which explains the significant jumps, especially for the "family shows".

Haha, figures, the one week I go to New York City, Wicked goes back to 100%. No wonder extra tickets were non existent! haha.

All I can say it was a wonderful week and can not expect better. Next week West Side Story will be added to the grosses. The only show not on the gross chart is Distracted. What a great week.

I find 33 Variations' gross a bit surprising. I guess Fonda isn't as much of a draw as anticipated. Hopefully the reviews can carry it.

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.

DISTRACTED is Off-Broadway.

no worries, colleges/universities start their spring break soon.

Unfortunately most of those will try for student rush or other discounted tickets. It'll be interesting to watch for any changes in the average ticket cost.
