Wow, overall wonderful numbers!!! That's great to see.
Ebersole was out for most of the week, so I wonder what the numbers might have looked if she was there. Hopefully not that low!

Still sucks for JE though.

Posted: 4/9/07 at 3:45pmDoes Mary Poppins do standing room? I know ti does not do a lotto or rush but I didn't know about standing. If they did not how is it above 100%

Yes mary poppins offers standing room. I think you miss the upper portion of the stage because of the mezzanine overhang.
I think the only part affected is Step in Time.

I noticed that too. Good week for Disney. Nice to see Tarzan up there even if its only for a week.

That was a great week. It's sad that Ebersole was out, otherwise, GREY GARDENS would've probably seen a bump.
Great for CURTAINS and CHICAGO though! Alas, I did miss the years when two Kander & Ebb shows were running at the same time. Glad to see those times are back.

WOW! What a great week!
Excited to see that Legally Blonde is starting off on the right foot.
Also, I wonder how GG's box office will fare now that Ebersole is on vacation.
Next week, I predict a huge decline in numbers for The Pirate Queen...we'll see....
