I'm supposed to see Bridges on April 6; I wonder if it will last that long. The show must be hemorrhaging money by now.

BRIDGES is about to get molly-wopped off the boards with all these new shows and revivals opening with a bang

Both Aladdin and Les Mis did great despite having press nights which would have lowered the grosses a bit, I imagine Aladdin will be cracking $1m once Easter holidays have started.

Cabaret made more money in 3 previews than what an average Roundabout show makes in a week so it's off to a good start.

If/Then hits the 1 million mark, in previews! Congrats to the cast, crew & creative team!

>but motown ouch<

They had another million dollar week. What ouch?

Giving away 20 free tickets a night for the entire week certainly didn't hurt Kinky Boots. I wonder what will happen with Newsies this week, as they are doing the same thing.'

Anyone know why Bullets did seven rather than eight shows last week?

Cinderella looks pretty healthy at another week over $900K leading into the spring, wheh its sales should really pick up. I wonder how much more its nut is given the two new stars.

"I'm supposed to see Bridges on April 6; I wonder if it will last that long."

2 weeks seems pretty safe... I imagine they are trying to stay afloat through nominations and, if nominated, will be trying to sort out how to stay open through the Tonys, if possible... I had a wonderful time seeing it, not sure what the disconnect is there with it finding an audience.

Same worry as Steve721. I'm supposed to see Bridges on April 12 or 13, thinking of hitting TKTS for tix. Hopefully the show will still be around, I'd be super bummed to miss out on another JRB's show for geographical reasons.

Wow! Toni Braxton and Babyface are really bringing in the crowds at AFTER MIDNIGHT. That is a huge jump!

"BRIDGES is about to get molly-wopped off the boards with all these new shows and revivals opening with a bang"

BULLETS OVER BROADWAY, ROCKY, AFTER MIDNIGHT, CABARET, ALADDIN, BEAUTIFUL, LES MISERABLES and IF/THEN are obviously hurting BRIDGES grosses. Not to mention the continued appeal of WICKED, BOOK OF MORMON, THE LION KING, MOTOWN, CINDERELLA, MATILDA and KINKY BOOTS. A tourist can only see so many shows during a five day visit to New York.

If BRIDGES had opened in a weaker season it would probably be doing near capacity business. I still think this show should have gone into the Newhouse at LCT where you would have a built-in membership base.

They may have decided to only schedule seven in order to gain some extra rehearsal time.

Yes compared to last weeks gross but when Fantasia and K.D Lang were in it they were making close to what the show made this week.

Hopefully, positive reviews by the critics will help Mothers and Sons with the grosses.

[ethan231h]

Posted: 3/24/14 at 9:36pm

mother and sons is a limited engagement so you never know what will happen!

ethan231h, After Midnight was not doing as well as they are doing now (over 700k) with Fantasia and K.D (500k-650k). While they had good numbers, it wasn't this good. Also, Mother and Sons is an open ended run. Please look up your info before posting!

So great to see "If/Then" doing so well. I'm really hoping it can keep those numbers for a good while. Also hoping that with the positive reviews "Mothers and Sons" will find more of an audience. I saw the final preview and thought it was fantastic.
