"Yup... All the Way has indeed broken records. I don't remember this announcement:"
Actually, the $1.425 million was last week. They broke it again this past week as they wrapped up the run with a take of $1.623 million. Pretty remarkable for a 3 hour historical play but a record richly deserved.
Another record for ALL THE WAY
Pippin's still making money. I would venture to guess that their weekly nut is around $500K/$550K. If they bring a name in one of the lead roles, it'll do fine. I give Pippin until the end of 2015.
I recently read an article that the producers of Pippin, The Weissler's and Kagen's plan to keep the show running for a while, the Weissler's want to do what they are they doing with Chicago. Every now and then bring in a celebrity for a while to boost ticket sales when needed! so I don't think Pippin is going any ware for at least 3 years!
I agree with drama mama - I do not see Pippin making it into late 2015.
Wow, Rocky is really not finding an audience. Hopefully they'll make it to the end of the year as I'm gonna be making a December trip to NYC and am hoping to catch it.
I thought ROCKY and Bullets would be the big tickets of the 13-14 season. I LOVED Bullets (my favorite show of last season after If/Then). I *liked* Rocky, but did not love it.
Bullets I'm surprised by. I figured people would love a big, splashy musical. It's very well done, but I guess the word-of-mouth hasn't been good? Their marketing is pretty dark and dull. Rocky, I can understand. It's a mediocre show that is pretty dark and dismal. Not a very "Summer" show.

Thanks for the correction, Bob!
