Commenting about a show that grossed so low, does NOT mean that I said that it should close. Grosses are facts, I would never wish for a show to close (not even BKLYN!)...and especially make a comment that because I don't like it, it's time for the show to close.

It was a great week all around. I agree with most Shrek will be around at least through the summer.

It's the first week for goodness sake! Give it a LITTLE time to find it's legs!

Otherwise I was pleased to see as many numbers UP as were!

Nice In The Heights.

Happy to see In the Heights doing so well! And it does make it more interesting to see shows alternate the highest percentage from week to week (though not to the extent that big shows close).

wickedrocks, the last time you saw Phantom it was a "wreck"?? You need to see it again with the new sound system that was installed last August. It will knock your socks off. And remember, the director still shows up to keep the cast tight and fresh every few months. So.........respect your elders on Broadway!

Can someone tell me the nut for Billy Elliot ? I seem to remember it being 750k or so.It seems to be doing "OK" compared to other shows in the Imperial this same time of year in the past...actually quite a bit better.

It's doing EXCELLENT. It made over a million in it's first week of previews! Also, what is amazing about that is that Billy Elliot hasn't advertised that much...it's more of a word of mouth show.

George I saw PHANTOM on Saturday and while the sound system may be new, whoever was operating the mics was awful. Whenever more than two people were singing at the same time (Notes/Prima Donna/Masquerade) at least half of their mics were off. I was lucky I was sitting in the sixth row because if I was any further back I don't think I'd be able to hear them. It has always been one of my favorite shows and the cast is very good right now but the problem with the mics was a distraction the entire performance.
