He really is. I was thinking that same thing all last night during the show.

BOOP and REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES have very long roads ahead of them. I think they would’ve been bigger in a less crowded season, but BOOP especially needs some huge boosting to last.

I know TL5Y just opened, but I’m really surprised that they aren’t breaking a million since it seems like Jonas alone would print money, but I think the reviews and negative word of mouth have really put a damper on things. (Although I think salaries are probably most of their budget)

Criss was back from vacation last week, as most of the other shows took a dip.

Decent start for PIRATES.

DORIAN GRAY with a higher ATP than GLENGARRY feels notable to point out.

BOOP and RWHC need the best musical nomination or else they’re closing in May. Remember the latter is filling the house with $19.87, $50, and comped seats throughout previews (in addition to $49 rush and $59 lottery).

BUENA VISTA holds firm.

Audra missed at least a couple of perfs last week, hence the GYPSY tumble.

I honestly expected FLOYD COLLINS and STRANGER THINGS to do a bit better this week.

I'm curious as to how 40 Othello tickets went unsold. Did they just hold the premium pricing too close to performance time? Surely there was a way to unload those.

Stranger Things is starting out decent enough. But given how expensive the show is to run, I have to think that producerswere hoping to be in the 1.4 - 1.5 million range. Very curious to see how much longevity this property has in this format."

STRANGER THINGS only played 4 shows. Extrapolate their number to a full week and they are nearly at $2mil.

Given how high their grosses have been, they probably expected people to buy them. Or maybe they were house seats that went unused. How would they have unloaded them?

If Gypsy doesn't win many Tony's I see it closing shortly thereafter.

If it closes mid-late July, Lincoln Center could try and get Joy Woods back for RAGTIME, although the easier choice would just be to continue with Nichelle.

Death Becomes Her seems to have so much availability . Yet the numbers don’t reflect that.

I am afraid you are right."

It’s only selling through August 31st, but I’m inclined to agree it might fold faster than that. Even though I know Audra is capable of 8 shows per week, callouts are damaging when the production pushes your name above all others. I think it would’ve behooved them to go the Sunset route and have a “Guest Star” one night per week since Mama Rose is one of those demanding roles that takes its toll.

SteveSanders said: "I don't recall previous Roses having an alternate one night a week."

Neither did previous Normas or Dollys until recent years, but times change as we begin to care more about the health and longevity of performers

Was having a conversation about how this season is slightly overstuffed with a certain sub-genre: the lighter high concept true musical comedy, i.e. Death Becomes Her, Smash, and Boop all have approximately the same audience, though said audience doesn't necessarily have the cash/impetus to see all three or even two of the three. Yes, I know they're different pieces, but from a marketing standpoint, they are a blurring mix of similar elements, and none has over-the-title stars that pull bigger bucks. It will be interesting to see how they do in awards season and over the summer. I've always thought Boop a hard sell, and Death a show that could fall prey to the Tootsie-Mrs. Doubtfire-Groundhog Day syndrome (the very qualities that earn a show a brand name also remind audiences that you can watch the source at home.)
