Aladdin is doing fantastic but its interesting despite being in a bigger theatre, its grosses are less than Les Mis and Kinky Boots, I'm guessing the balcony does reduce its gross potential.

Pretty easy to sort out.
Average paid for a ticket:
Aladdin: $88.80
Kinky Boots: $143.66
Les Miserables: $124.04

Posted: 4/21/14 at 3:57pmWow! A great week! Glad to see a little boost for Bridges! Also it seems like Mamma Mia still has a pulse!

And Cinderella actually out grossed Aladdin this week at a huge $1.4 million, and an average ticket price of $103.00.
There was a poster here named FineByDesign who trashed Cinderella before it opened and predicted it wouldn't last until the summer of 2013 (yes, LAST summer). Remember that? Haven't see any comments about the show from (s)he lately.

The producers must just love the day they invented premium seating.
Pretty encouraging to see 12 new musicals still running, most putting up pretty decent numbers, without taking away from the previous seasons' mega-hits. Its gotta kill the commercial side of the street to see the shows who will gather the most award nominations doing the worst business of the new crop.

Posted: 4/21/14 at 4:07pmI think some schools had spring break last week. There were a lot of teens at Pippin last Wednesday afternoon. It was not a school group.

Aladdin still has tickets that sold on discount codes, as theses run out their average ticket price will rise.
16 shows on the $1m+ club, Bullets Over Broadway wasn't one of them, who is going to write the eulogy? another big fat flop for the St James!

Posted: 4/21/14 at 4:08pmI am supposed to see VELOCITY on Wed. Hopefully it stays open til then.

I guess cheering its tiny bump may be an "anything is better" kind of thinking, but Bridges still only pulled in 33% of its possible gross, and must be dumping bushels of money that it doesn't have.

Posted: 4/21/14 at 4:23pmPersonally, I'm just happy that more people went to see the show. It'll never be a $1million per week hit, so I'll take the small victories. :)

Posted: 4/21/14 at 4:51pmSmall victories mean zilch if they are still losing hundreds of thousands a week, which they indeed are.

Posted: 4/21/14 at 4:59pmExcellent week for Broadway. I think there's still a chance that 'Cinderella' could recoup.
#21Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/20/14
Posted: 4/21/14 at 5:05pm
Cinderella should recoup any week now...if it hasn't already recouped.
The real question is when will Matilda and Motown which have been almost always members of the million dollar club as opposed to Cinderella which has definitely had some weeks in the red.

Posted: 4/21/14 at 5:35pmMatilda must have high running costs but it took Billy Elliot 14 months to recoup so I reckon Matilda probably will recoup in the next few months, same with Motown which is surprising its hasn't recouped yet.
#23Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/20/14
Posted: 4/21/14 at 9:44pmThat is a tremendous bump for Matilda which was all ready at 1M. Of the new shows Rocky had a big week.

"same with Motown which is surprising its hasn't recouped yet."
I imagine the weekly running costs are much higher with the royalties they have to pay to all of the music copyright holders, including Mr. Gordon.
