Apparently Spring Break doesn't draw too many Pinter fans, otherwise a fantastic week.

Wow. I predict people are going to be excited, especially for Passing Strange.

Every musical is over 78%, with most over 90%. Spring Break like woah.

The Homecoming can't close fast enough.

My friend works at a hotel in NYC and was telling me all last week that ticket requests were through the roof. Ashame The Homecoming didn't do better. Such a good show.

Was In the Heights on TKTS last week? Kind of wondering why their numbers went down slightly.

I enjoyed The Homecoming a lot. But to be fair, if you're on vacation in NYC, looking for a show or two to see, and you read the little blurb that tells you what it's about, it's not exactly the sort of thing that would have you running to the box office.

IN THE HEIGHTS went down in capacity, but went up in terms of gross which is what matters.
Congrats to PASSING STRANGE!
GYPSY also saw a pretty neat increase. How great.
THE HOMECOMING is in trouble.

I'm THRILLED Passing Strange is doing well now. Soon as I saw it, I knew it would do well, because the audience's reaction was sincere elation.

Spring break did wonders for Broadway. Way to go!

Wow, I feel bad for the cast of the Homecoming. They're out there eight days a week delivering intense performances of a difficult and very emotional play, and they have to play to nearly empty houses.
Poor folks...

I LOVED the Homecoming...a classic every serious theatergoer should see IMHO. Not easy, but if you listen hard, it's a fascinating play.

Was In the Heights on TKTS last week? Kind of wondering why their numbers went down slightly.

As Ray said, IN THE HEIGHTS went from $467,000 to $601,000.

They shot up in gross, so they have nothing to worry about.

I'm surprised ITH's attendance percentage isn't better.

Other than that, WOW!
