Is that a new record for the Richard Rodgers?

That's a big drop for American Psycho- i guess the reason for the closing notice is sadly clearer.

The kids/family shows really jumped this week over last — maybe schools starting to let out for the summer?

Looks like Robert E. Wankel (Shubert CEO) needs to take another walk around Times Square and hand out more eviction notices.

Surprised that finding neverland fell instead of jumped. It always did well over holiday weekends.
Glad that Tuck Everlasting ended on a high,

Most of us know who Bob Wankel is, Phantom.

I can see Fun Home closing by New Year's.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was Labor Day. Very sad... I hope I get a chance to see it one last time.

Tend to agree with this comment...Unfortunately, it seems like its time is coming to an end.

I was thinking Labor Day too but didn't want to say it.

Is anyone at all worried about Kinky Boots? They've had a few weeks now of sub-60% potential grosses

No. You're looking at the wrong number. Look at the actual gross. 700k is fine.

Asking to be educated, not to nitpick - is that true? I feel like a lot of the subscription documents for broadway shows I've seen usually hover around 60% gross for a breakeven. I know, for instance, ON THE TOWN indicated it would recoup at 60% of gross capacity, which would require much higher than 700k (700k in the Lyric is ~40% of gross capacity, at least how that show was priced).
Again, coming from a place of ignorance, not arrogance

Good for Waitress, Matilda, and especially Tuck Everlasting.
Very sorry to see that American Psycho is doing so poorly. I hope that it does well in it's final week.

I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true...
Kinky Boots has already recouped, and it isn't comparable to On the Town in any way, in that respect. But to be clear, I don't know the weekly nut of KB and clearly neither do you, so it's all conjecture.
The point being: the actual gross is the most important number. And yes, that is true.

Still rooting for bright star!
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.
