"Phantom" doing 101%? "Chicago" doing 99%? How great to see these shows doing so well!

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!

^ That's true, Tink. I didn't think about that.

Still sucks for JE though.

Good to see Company having a bit of an increase. And wow, Phantom at 101.5% is higher than even Wicked or Jersey Boys!

Does 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%

#20

re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/8/2007

Posted: 4/9/07 at 3:48pm

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....
