I doubt it. I said it back in December when I saw it in LA that in its current form, the show's Broadway run will be very short if no major changes were made. It wasn't only me but a chorus of negative comments echoed this. It's too bad the show's creative team did not listen.

I don't think there's ever a "right season" to open...it'll either catch on or not. There will always be shows that get more attention/business than others. I'd like to think American Psycho would have done better this season but who knows...Next year I'm sure the family-show flops will blame Harry Potter/Frozen, etc...

Though it has a wonderful star, Amélie is just a bad show. No industrial conditions could save it.

I doubt that Donna Murphy's added Tuesday evening show will boost up the grosses that much more. In fact, it'll lower the average ticket price a bit. Going to 8 shows a week starting in mid-June will likely keep it around the $2 million mark.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Yes, let's hope they can repeat at least this performance week after week

I feel like once these shows take off after the Tony Awards, I think "Cats" will be gone by Labor Day. It's not looking real prime for any nominations and seems to continue to exist as a curio...

Yet is profitable every week, not that it even matters. ALW would keep it open as a vanity piece even if it lost him money.

I don't believe ALW is producing this revival of Cats... so it's far from a vanity piece

Sure, but cfried didn't say it was a good number. They said they are on the right track... meaning the numbers are climbing.

Play Esq. said: "Considering that Dolly only had 7 performances last week and many seats were comped for opening...Dolly could very well take Hamilton's top spot next week!

"

I believe Dolly is only doing 7 shows until after the Tonys in June when Donna Murphy starts her performances on Tuesdays.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

These grosses are staggering. I can't remember such a thrilling season with so many hits. Last season was so boring with all the Hamilton hype. This season is an embarrassment of riches. So thrilled.

Last season was the opposite of boring to me, I found it thrilling to watch a new musical have such an incredible impact. This year is interesting too, just in a different way.
