"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 5/16/11 at 9:07pmNot if you look at the average ticket price and the percentage of potential gross, which is what really matters - that percentage, rather then eighty-one percent is, in fact, 49% or thereabouts.

Posted: 5/16/11 at 9:17pmAny way you slice it, $950k is a good week.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

as Warner Bros. is one of the main producers of Baby its You! it would seem that show is not going to close any time soon. Add to the fact that there is a demographic for that show, and steep discounts.
However, if the weekly % of the potential gross doesnt rise soon it would appear that Labor Day will be the end. Also, note that the numbers for Million Dollar Quartet (same production team) have gone way down, and the team seems to be concentrating on its new baby. Yes there is a limit to how much money can be thrown away, but right now it seems they have not reached it.

For whom? You think Baby, It's You did 950K? You must be referencing some other show but since your post followed some Baby, It's You posts it seems like you're talking about that. Unless you ARE talking about that, in which case you should go back and read the grosses again.

Posted: 5/17/11 at 8:21pmIt's not just Warners with Baby, It's You - it's also Universal - they really don't care how much they lose. They'll keep it open as long as they can, until they can no longer justify it, and then they'll tour.

Posted: 5/17/11 at 8:27pmThat gross was for Priscilla... Maybe you should read the entire thread before making comments that don't make sense.
