86% attendance for OUAOMT is a GREAT improvement from the 72% of last week! Still can do a lot better, it needs exposure!

Is Shucked making money with these numbers?

It had it's best week, grossing over 800K and numbers have been steadily going up. I am not sure how much their nut is, but they should be making money now I reckon.

Better attendance is nice for WOM, but this show has the second worst average ticket price on Broadway right now, and will probably assume that spot when a wounded Bad Cinderella (yikes!) limps off on Sunday. They just extended their $50 deal for the next 2.5 weeks of previews and included A LOT more what would otherwise be premium or mid-premium seats.

Look at the seating map for the Wednesday matinee tomorrow and also Saturday night and tell me what your feelings are then.

Thrilled for Shucked. And also Some Like It Hot is once again in the million-dollar club.

It’s a quirky who with a weird title. At least they’re making some money

Mike Bosner, in that Deadline interview, was understandably a bit coy about Shucked’s nut. But he wasn’t that coy. It’s making money now, according to him.

The show’s average ticket price, which was very low with all the discounts during previews, is climbing slowly but steadily each week. It’s still not great ($88) but is going in the right direction.

I was thinking the same thing. A big hit for them. I checked back on the grosses at the Friedman and they are almost identical to My Name is Lucy Barton. Seems to be the Laura Linney effect!

By summary, do you mean the stuff posted in the first message of each thread? I usually go to the spreadsheet and sort by average price and then go down the line that way.

I'm very curious to see how the Grey House reviews end up going, seeing as they were somewhat polarizing on this board. Since Tatiana was out last week does that mean this week will mostly be comps for the critics?

I know it's not a huge change yet, but I wonder if NYNY could be starting to lose steam/the bad reviews have caught up to it. The disparity between average ticket price ($130) and attendance capacity (59%) for Good Night, Oscar seems a little shocking. I wonder if it's similar to Neil Diamond where it's mainly older folks who know Oscar Levant (and are less likely to use discounts) that are going (though I'm not sure if they have a ton of discounts out either).

I was at Good Night Oscar over the weekend and the crowd in the orchestra was definitely on the older side. I think that the crowd also skews older because Sean Hayes is known for his portrayal of Jack McFarland on Will & Grace in the late 90s and early 2000s. The show was revived in 2017 but it was never as popular as the original. The people who are Sean Hayes fans are mainly older folks.
