"Chicago" is holding its own. Sometimes, this show reminds me of Cher. It's been around for a while and is a survivor. from Roman in Austin, Texas (visiting NYC from March 10-13, 2012)
seeing: (maybe) Other Desert Cities, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago and the first preview of Evita.

^ here's hoping Once has some long legs on Broadway!

^^agreed!

How to Succeed FINALLY picked back up some. Anyone have a guess as to the running costs of the show right now? My guess is that this is the first week of the Jonas run that the show has turned a profit, and still only a small 20,000 or so one...

And good week for Anything Goes and Phantom. Chicago lost a bit of steam. But really aside from Venus, Sister Act, and Shatner, it was a pretty good week.

The question would be: How much will the producers let Sister Act run in the hole before it finally closes? And God Spell still isn't doing all that great, I would doubt that it will make it through the summer.

^ are you a psychic?

Nice to see 'Mary Poppins' and 'Mamma Mia' have some good weeks.

Well, the hirschfeld holds about 400 more patrons than the Sondheim, so presumably the show was budgeted accordingly. The Sondheim is about 28% smaller than the hirscfeld, with similarly priced tickets (H2$ actually has tickets priced a hair higher, and has premium seats about 50$ higher). How to Succeed also has a slightly larger cast than Anything Goes (not including swings and standby's: 29 to 26). That would be my rational.

The size of the house has relatively little to do with running costs. The productions themselves seem about the same size. I doubt three extra cast members, including the salary diff btw Jonas and Foster, cost 100K. Even if it did, why would the stat for one deserve a thumbs up and for the other merit a meh? If Jonas can keep that gross where it is, I imagine the producers will be happy.

Well, you must be one of the few here that feel that way.
