Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/24/16 — Page 2

I have to wonder if THE COLOR PURPLE'S Prince tribute video helped sales. They were reportedly sold-out all weekend and saw a solid increase in their grosses.

Well, I can't say it was good, but truth to tell, the acrobatics alone proved more entertaining than anything in Hamilton, Fun Home, Waitress, American Psycho...

Yes, yes, you hate theatre, we get it.

Actually, this is the most revelatory thing it has ever posted. For years, folks have assumed it was posting from a perch of faux superiority but now it is clear what the problem has been: just sit it down in front of a couple of jugglers and it will be entertained forever.

 

"

Wow, good one.

Shows are always selling groups far in advance... further than single tickets anyway. How do you think they collect a "healthy" advance? It ain't your mom and your aunt on their once a year theater date, I'll tell ya that. 

After Eight, you literally just wrote on the Tuck reviews thread that you enjoyed that show "a great deal more than Hamilton, Waitress, School of Rock, American Psycho," blah blah blah. That's all well and good that you have your personal tastes, but why are you so bitter and comparative in professing your preferences? Why can't you just say you're happy for Tuck and hope it's successful without denigrating all these other shows in your wake?

AE, no you don't, and you know you don't. But you go right on having a blast at children's theatre and thinking that's what's good. But maybe you can lay off the sophomoric snideness cuz the grownups have you figured out.
