Leap of Faith had to lose almost $400,000 last week. How can they keep running?

Once had a very impressive Tony nomination bump as did Nice Work. Ghost is definitely in trouble. Leap of Faith is just sad at this point. These numbers look just as bad as Lysistrata did.

What's unfortunate is Peter and the Starcatcher. I was hoping for a nice Tony nomination bump especially since it received the most nominations for a play but I guess time will tell if it can find an audience.

they keep the show running and hope when the tourists start coming, it give the show a boost. Didn't really every seat was available on 'rush'

It is interesting that The Lion King beat Wicked as the top grossing show, I'm guessing Lion King sells more premium seats and also doesn't offer any rush or lottery.

Newsies is doing solidly and I imagine it'll break $1m again once the holidays kick in.

SISTER ACT is sort of tapering off as of late, with every passing week. I really hope it gets a tourist bump with the summer right around the corner.

Well right now isn't really "tourist season." I think a lot of the longer running shows will get a bump throughout summer. Although, I'm kind of surprised Sister Act isn't showcasing Raven more. I mean, walking by the theater there's one little sign, that's it. I would think she'd be up on the marquee.

"Leap of Faith"'s numbers are embarrassing.
