The grosses for Smash were very good given that one of the eight performances was opening night where a large percentage of tickets are comped.

Do you realize how much money Gypsy is likely to make during the holiday season? It will not be a Labor Day closing."
Which holiday season are you talking about? Regardless, why would you think that GYPSY is a "holiday show"? It's never been (and never will be) a tourist show -- it's a show for New Yorkers, some bridge + tunnel, and the relatively small pockets of visiting show queens.
Agreed, Gypsy is not a big tourist show. The show itself as a property and Audra as an actresss are big draws for theater lovers, not the general population
Summer will be interesting this year. Australian just added America to a reconsider list for travel.

I've been wondering how long it would take before we did that. I've got one friend who has already cancelled their trip to to the US and my brother is due to travel to the US later this year and he and his wife were due to catch a couple of shows while they were there but not sure if they are now reconsidering although the main reason they were going was to visit a family member of my sis in law's.

I’m impressed that 40 out of 41 Broadway houses are in use. When’s the last time that happened I wonder?
