Decent start for WAR PAINT with only 7 shows.

Almost In Transit's worst week yet! Almost.

This makes me so sad for Significant Other!! It's so good!

I am a fan of SIGNIFICANT OTHER and can see the low grosses today. It's been on TDF often, however, today I looked on TDF to purchase tickets for a friend for his birthday but it's not listed. At first I thought it closed! Anyone have any ideas as to why the producers wouldn't list this show with TDF with BO doing 20% of its capacity? Strange.

Not too bad of a start for War Paint and Amelie, hope they keep the momentum going. I'm worried for Come From Away, hope it can build on the positive reviews. Significant Other and In Transit I dare say will close by the time the nominations come out unless they receive some major nomination.

I suppose the silver lining for Significant Other is that, like Bad Jews, probably every college and regional theatre will produce it. I loved the play!

Nice start for War Paint.

In Transit continues to amaze. I'll say this about the show, its consistent.

And again - Sunset Blvd - pulling in over 1.2 million, top 5 gross for the week with only 7 performances. In this somewhat crowded season, I'm really happily amazed it's doing this well...

It's hard to judge COME FROM AWAY as their grosses included opening night. This week will be tough to judge as well due to the storm tomorrow. Yet I think with its strong reviews, it'll become a hot ticket.

It pains me that Sweat does not seem to be picking up steam at all. Those are really painful numbers.

As usual, On Your Feet continues to underperform. Way underperform. There have been many discussions on why the producers keep it open. No argument here. Assuming the Estefans see value in keeping it open, there's still cash flow to consider.

If as has been often assumed, the Estefans are waiving or deferring payment for creative rights, what would be the weekly nut? Any guesses?

I can't imagine Come From Away has that high a weekly running cost? No huge stars, simple set/costumes, I assume it doesn't require an extensive crew?? It has great attendance so far, the average ticket price just needs to creep up.
