I'm hoping for a boost for Once on This Island and Spongebob after Tony noms!

They had a deal on TodaysTix a few weeks ago.

Well, if they can stop a volcano from decimating Bikini Bottom, anything is possible!

22 years later, I'm pretty amazed by Chicago's gross.

Also, I assumed McPhee would be a slightly bigger draw for Waitress.

I get that sometimes discounted seats, TKTS tix or weeks that include an opening night affect percentages even for fully sold out weeks, but none of these seem to apply here plus this is in a subscription-based house. Can someone explain?

I also note lots of shows have percentages this week between 30% and 70%. I bet summer (and in some cases, Tony noms) can’t come quick enough for them."



Someone correct me if I'm wrong (since I know this is how it is at Roundabout), but as a subscription house, the tickets going to the subscribers will not be at top ticket price, i.e., they won't be paying $189 to sit in the orchestra. Once the subscribers trickle out, the grosses should rise, especially if they keep selling out.

I went a few weeks back and the theatre was half empty.

I left at intermission because I wasn't really feeling the cast at all and I'd seen it before.

Based on past experience, I would say roughly one to two weeks after they release the closing notice.

Not sure why they listed $247 as Angels's top price. I paid $350+fees for each of last Saturday's performances.
