Those Harry Potter’s numbers are really great, arent they? I remember when the play was made less than 1M per week, I guess the one-part thing really helped, right?
And I need to see Plaza Suite and Macbeth doing 8 shows a week to show who has the biggest power between Craig and SJP hahaha
Those non-stars plays are suffering. I mean, American Buffalo is doing ok business but the rest…

I usually watch ABC-7 (NYC/NJ) in the morning and they are often the channel that has the most commercials for Broadway shows, but I’m only really seeing the plugs for Beetlejuice, Come From Away, Company. Aladdin, Dear Evan Hansen, and Wicked."
A lot of the newer shows (e.g. POTUS, for colored girls..., A Strange Loop, etc.) would probably be better served with digital marketing and building good word of mouth but who knows how they're going about that. It's hard to generate the success of Beetlejuice or Six no matter how often you post to TikTok. There's no way to quantify if the audience isn't there or if the potential audience/intended demographic doesn't know about the show.

Wow, Pamela Anderson deserves the credit for a very significant increase in grosses, during her first week. Bravo!

Always sad to see shows take a hit when the majority saw a rise in their weekly numbers. Assuming the Tony’s give it a boost how long do we think Company will be around? September?
