Nice week for most of the current titles.

Notebook has been holding seats for critics leading up to Thursday's opening, so the numbers are down a bit for them. Expect the same thing to happen next week with Elephants.

Nice to see so much GREEN! All but 5 shows had attendance in the 90th percentile, with 3 of those remaining in the 80s.



I can't imagine how much it sucks to play to an AVERAGE of 50%....knowing their weekends have to be more full, weekday performance of 30% must hurt. Esp for a show like W&R - to work so hard emotionally for so few people.

Notebook is giving away a lot of press tickets - but after opening night it will need to get those weekly grosses up, up, up.

Weekly running costs are in the high mid 900,000.

It's expensive......

I'm not sure where you got these numbers from, but having seen the offering docs, the running costs are not nearlythat high. Even allowing for cost overruns, it's in a smaller theater and isn't that large a show.Ithas one of the lowercapitalizations for a new musicalthis season as well.

"

I would think they are when you actually add in 1) theatre rent percentage and 2) minimum royalties. These are typically shown on separate lines below the weekly operating cost figure. Then 900k doesn’t sound off. Why does everyone forget to add those figures in when looking at “weekly operating costs”? Anyway, hoping it fares better.

How heartbreaking for days of wine and roses. The best musical of the season. I really hope they get nominated for best musical and a win for score.
With Sweeney making 1.3 million a week, it’s crazy that they’re closing. Why not just find new broadway stars and keep it going??

The recoupment schedule offered in Broadway operating papers takes into consideration all finances the production is responsible for. There aren’t hidden expenses not accounted for in the weekly running costs.

Truly impressive for Hadestown, Chicago and Enemy of the People. Wow.

I know the comp ticket thing for The Notebook but I'm still super underwhelmed by its numbers so far.

Is A Beautiful Noise gonna make it to June 30?

They aren't hidden, butBdwyFan is correct that people here frequently quote the break evencostasthe fixed weekly cost. In reality, there's the theatre percentage, royalties, and ticket fees on top, which generally add about 20% to give the actual sales grossneeded to break even."

There are also expenses that just pop up time to time. Sort of like how if you as a person follow a budget, some weeks you'll spend more or less than others. Positions also get added sometimes (you realize you need to hire an additional Swing or another Wardrobe person), more put-in rehearsals than anticipated, an increase in advertising dollars, a new costume needs to be built, painting touchups, etc etc etc. Especially as a show continues its run, there's inflation to account for.

What's in the offering papers is a goal, but sometimes even the most fiscally-responsible producers can't stick to that goal.
