It doesn't appear that the info for Stranger Things from last week is included here.

Overall, though, considering the weather disrupting things this weekend, this week is not bad at all.

The show was dark the week prior, so there was no info to provide.

Do we have any info on what Oh, Mary!'s breakeven is? I'm sure they're fine as they've weathered these sorts of grosses during Gilpin's run (the most underrated Mary imo), but I'm just curious about the weekly nut.

Getting a little worried for Death Becomes Her given they still had 8 shows last week. I'm sure the snow day didn't help overall attendance. I wonder if they're locking in Jennifer Simard's replacement soon. I know no end date for her run has been announced yet, curious how long she's planning on staying with the show. Same for Michelle Williams.

Also so impressed with Lion King! After all this time and they're almost in the 2mill mark

They were capitalized at $4.7 million during their initial run and had recouped in roughly 5 months. They have been running in the black ever since and have made profit galore. The breakeven is likely around the same amount as TWO STRANGERS (roughly $500K). They would probably have to be on a downward trajectory similar to SIX for a sustained period of time before any alarms would go off. If anything, they will likely pick a date to close once they run out of possible casting options since they are doing the piecemeal extension approach

The show is not closing any time soon - if the soon to be announced next replacement is who everyone thinks it is, it will sell out nearly immediately for the next bit and more than make up for any disappointing weeks with JCM. Credit to the producers for trying all kinds of performers for the show, but it's becoming clearer that they need at least a "TV Name" as Mary to keep the show sold out at this point.

Based on original docs, OM's breakeven was just under $500k (tho I'm assuming there are alot more expenses for mrktg, casting, rehearsals, etc).

I imagine the producers of Oh! Mary! are wishing they did not sign JCM for such a long engagement.

If there was any doubt that Lea Michelle is a huge box office attraction, last week's Chess grosses should take care of that. Given that Aaron Tveit has sold plenty of tickets, I really didn't expect Chess to suffer as much as it did. without her I imagine that Lea's willingness to extend beyond the June date will play a huge role in any decision to extend. I imagine she will need to agree to extend if the Broadway production is going to have any chance of returning its investment on Broadway.

Lea is one of the producers so she has incentive to stay.

Chess plummeting $800k without Michele seems one of the biggest stories here. I had no idea she'd be the pull that she is, and I realize it may be a generational thing. Clearly, unless they have a comparable star lined up, this show's longevity isn't a sure thing. Because I saw it last week without her, I'm doubly surprised. I'm a longtime Chess-o-phile yet to me the character remains the least interesting, the one that doesn't change sufficiently, who has one thing to sing about: the two men (Exhibit A, the peripatetic "Someone Else's Story," which has mutated from an I Want, to an introduction to a new character, only to return here in a "Send in the Clowns" spot.) But that's another story, whose I don't know. The audiences are loving this show - it was cheered to the rafters Saturday afternoon - and the word of mouth remains solid. The songs just thrill people. Surely a pop star is out there who'd do 6 months as Florence.

Funny Girl plummeted whenever Lea was on leave so its not unprecedented.

Aaron has scheduled leave Sunday and Tuesday so that will likely affect the box office too."

Not as much though. It should still comfortably make around $1.3 - $1.4 million this week.

Oh Mary is also an extremely undemanding straight play with a total cast, including understudies, of 8. It almost certainly still broke even last week- I would be surprised if it didn’t also still turn a profit.
