A fair amount of principal casting updates and closings to keep track of these next couple of weeks.

Harmony and Purlie both with strong final weeks, and Ohio likely to follow suit.

Decent start for Doubt, but it’s only two previews so far (and no Daly).

Nice to see Joe Locke and Ariana Madix move the needle at their respective musicals.

I’d hate to think so, but this is probably the peak for Wine and Roses, just after opening.

Back to the Future actually lost money last week.

Average ticket prices will def shoot back up next week as the 2-for-1 deal just ended on Sunday.

I'm not surprised about Locke. My friend and I don't have the luxury of seeing many shows twice, but we bought a ticket to see Sweeney Todd again when he was announced. I'm fascinated by the casting of Foster and, especially, Tveit, but it was indeed Locke who moved the needle for us.

I am thrilled that stunt casting is allowing Chicago to run as long as it has, because it is one of my favorite shows ever."

I didn't know either, but as the poster above noted, it was Ariana Madix (who I'd never heard of). She is "a cast member on the Bravo reality television series Vanderpump Rules" and was on Dancing with the Stars last year. I feel ancient and completely out of touch...but I'm okay with that.
