Pretty bad week for all.

This is ordinarily a week where we would have seen a bump for presumed Tony frontrunners like HK or Outsiders or Illinoise, not a 5-figure drop.

Wonder if ATG is regretting exercising their option to move APPROPRIATE. It has never reached the highs of the 2nd Stage run (despite more seats to fill).

BTTF numbers are abysmal this week, ouch! I wonder if The Notebook will close by labor day.

 

When is Heart of Rock n roll announcing their closing date?

Keep in mind the bump is largely due to a 7-show week the week before (because they had to cancel a show). This is Cab's first 8-show week. Yes, he's a draw for now (him + the title and concept) but we don't know how long that staying power will last. A lot of musical revivals have started strong and then fizzled out.

Vanya also had 7 shows the week before.

Did something happen at Wicked? Just baffled by the $340k drop compared to the week before whereas Lion King remained the same. In recent weeks it's been Lion King & Wicked in the top 2 spots.

Word of mouth is not the same as critical acclaim (or lack thereof). The vast majority of people I know personally who have seen the production come out of it recommending it to others.

I’m actually a little surprised that Mother Play isn’t smashing the records that Appropriate set at 2ST earlier in the season given the casting. 

Heart of Rock & Roll is just going to keep plugging along - but I think they will close probably well before 6/16. 

The numbers for Lempicka are worse than Bad Cinderella last year. Sad that the closing notice has only fueled the audience looking for comps and not actually ticket buyers

I don’t know who your people are .  But everyone I have talked to has been very mixed about it.  I was as well.  But still worth seeing.  This will be a tkts regular by October.

Would love to know the weekly costs of Outsiders, Suffs and Hell's Kitchen.

Alicia is really pulling 1.2M and it's not even summer, good for her!

Am I alone in thinking that Book of Mormon is finally starting to run out of steam? Nothing detrimental in the least and definitely not enough to close tomorrow but could there be a chance that its time may be sooner rather than later?

How far in advance would producers announce a closing for a long-runner like Mormon?

RE: Book of Mormon

Yeah but 800K is still great and 90% capacity - they also started offering digital rush recently too.

Mr. Wormwood said: "I do think BOM will be the next very long-runner to close but I would guess another year or so at least."

Sounds right.  Again, I don't believe for a second it's on death's door step and I'm sure it'll be back above $1 million in no time but it's definitely not the juggernaut it once had been.
