Those Company and Six numbers are great and that one Lehman performance is insane. Yikes on Diana and GFTNC.

Wouldn't a "global phenomenon" be at 100% attendance and gross potential?

GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY only has 4 performances listed - not sure if this is an error. They also had their opening this week as well.

Six is in press mode now, so there are a number of comps per performance.
Didn’t Diana only have five previews last week, since they had to cancel one? That could be skewing the numbers, but either way they’re not great.

This is a terrible time of the year for theatre plus there are major fears of the Corona virus. I don't think it's fair to judge the long-term success of any new musical based on grosses right now.

Nothing really sticks out as worrisome. It's usually a slow time of the year now. I do wonder about TINA, no discount and it hasn't popped up at TKTS, but it fell below 80% capacity. Still well over a million, but it's interesting there's still no discount or they won't put it up at TKTS.

I have to say, across the board, this is better than what I expected to see. With coronavirus fears ramping up and up, I thought we'd see more shows dipping further this past week, but so far, so good. Let's see if Broadway can keep it up.

 

And compared to other shows, North Country isn't doing fantastically, but this was opening week, and I suspect the rave reviews could have a positive effect, especially if the coronavirus concerns don't surge.
