Hopefully Steve and Edie can take some of that money back.

I think it was because Cynthia was away last week.

On Your Feet! is slowly but surely in decline...

Shuffle along is still doing more than mediocre business...

It's a shame BRIGHT STAR wasn't playing to houses like that the whole time.

Just reading down all those wonderful shows on Broadway [ and leaving out the obvious], there are no Stars that the general public knows--it's the show that decides tickets sold. War Paint and Dolly will bring 2 so who else is there and what are they doing?



Just an early morning thought--Aussie time.

Bright Star going out with a bang!!

Aww :/

God do I wish Bright Star had been doing business like that throughout its run. Such a shame. At least they ended on a high note.

The only reason you're seeing those numbers is because of their announced closing. Not because of any word of mouth, marketing partnerships or any other hogwash.

Unfortunately I have to agree. Bright Star's numbers were not the effect of the show "catching on," but merely the show closing which peaked interest.

JBroadway said: "Why did Hamilton's Potential Gross go up? "

For the longest time the potential gross was stable at $1,334,960.

The week after the Tonys, it increased to $1,655,384.

Then this past week it increased again to $1,943,120.

To my understanding the potential gross is based on (# of seats in the theater available for sale that week) x (average ticket price set by the theater for that week) or something similar to that calculation. In the gross tables, Richard Rodgers officially has 10,568 seats available for sale each week. Yet, it always sells over 10,750 seats each week (I guess that's due to SRO?)

I'm guessing after all those Tony award wins, Richard Rodgers officially raised the prices of their premium, orchestra, mezz, rear mezz tickets, thus increasing the potential gross? I don't work in finance but that would be my guess. I'm not understanding why it increased yet again this week, after an increase last week (unless the ticket prices rose again? Doubt it.)
