It looks like neither Rocky nor Bridges are going to enjoy popular success despite their critical drubbing.

Despite?

I think "Rocky" is going to do just fine. $800,000 is pretty good for a show. Once it comes summer time, I wouldn't be surprised to see if they made it to $1,000,000.

I'm actually surprised at how badly Gentleman's Guide is doing. I mean, this has been mentioned by many here as a front runner for the Tony.

If you think last week was bad wait until you see next week. Passover begins next Monday and that is historically one of the slowest weeks of the year on Broadway.

"$800,000 is pretty good for a show."

$800,000 is good for a show like Once, but not so much for a huge spectacle like Rocky. And far from what anyone would call a hit.

I doubt Gentleman's Guide is a very expensive show to put on: only 11 cast members and a small orchestra. GGLAM has also been running for about 6 months now.

Rocky seems like it's having a much harder time considering the size of the production.

Wow... I hope "Mothers and Sons" gets better box office soon.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I'm sure the producers of Gentleman's Guide are holding out at least until the Tonys are over since they're a strong contender for the major awards. Hopefully they'll be able to stick around for a while longer, the show really is great.

This is a year where the Tony is going to mean something because it's a real toss up. Every show got mixed reviews (I'm assuming Bullets will also get mixed notices)and only Aladdin If/Then and Beautiful have been able to show muscle at the box office.

Memphis ran for years on grosses worse than what Rocky has put up so far. Once had the same lackluster grosses until it won the Tony. Last year Matilda and Boots Motown were solid from the first preview . The Tony put Kinky Boots in the mega hit stratosphere.

The nominations will thin the herd the awards will kill more off.

That's probably the lowest numbers for Once. Hopefully they'll pick up for the spring shortly.
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.

But Rocky's is a much more of an elaborate show than Memphis, and likely has higher running costs.

Bridges is in serious trouble.

"If you think last week was bad wait until you see next week. Passover begins next Monday and that is historically one of the slowest weeks of the year on Broadway."

Not to sure about this...it's also Easter week and I imagine NY will have a steady stream of tourists then entire week. Not to say that they'll see Bridges or Guide, but they'll likely boost attendance.

Once has been declining for a while, I wouldn't be surprised if it closes in 2015.
