Hot damn, The Book of Mormon is literally going to be impossible to get tickets to after it wins the Tony. Scalpers abound.

The Addams Family will be gone by the end of the summer. The gross just keeps on dropping and dropping.

Should be interesting next week to see what Spider-Man reports for it's first week back.

Nice seeing Sister Act's numbers(grosses & average ticket $$) climbing every week. Let's not forget that Brooke Sheilds will be joining Addams Family on June 28 and I think they'll do well for the summer season.

I am also happy about that.

War Horse seems to be selling out, what's the best way to get discounted tix?

What discounted tickets? Good luck finding them. I doubt they exist. The discounted seats on Broadway box are $70 and $90, so that's hardly a discount.

Nice to see a bump for Jerusalem and The Normal Heart, hopefully that'll keep growing.

Wicked unseated yet again by a slim margin. And by a Julie Taymor production!

I don't think they will kill the BENGAL TIGER (get it?) because of low attendance. It'll probably finish it's run...especially with mild Tony buzz.

I would say Bengal Tiger's Tony buzz is pretty nonexistent.

Glad the fact they didn't get a Best Musical nomination isn't slowing Priscilla down.

Happy to see the Jerusalem grosses are up!

I wondered that also about Memphis. My guess is they must be getting pretty close if their nut is around 600K. It hasn't been a blockbuster but they are always well in the black.

I feel so bad for ADDAMS FAMILY

The only good thing about it is that Brooke Shields probably won't get a chance to actually take over as Morticia.

I wonder what the weekly nut for a show like Adams Family or Memphis is. Anyone know?

I don't get it... can you explain it? Because if you're saying... oh... oh wait... KILLED... I see what you did there. *end sarcasm*

Anyway, I don't know what Tony buzz you are referring to. Bengal Tiger was not nominated for Best Play or it's famous Leading Actor. I don't see how you could say that it has Tony buzz from a no-name featured actor (though wonderful), the sound design, and the lighting design.
