Grosses down 7% from this week last year. The shows that have been doing well remain doing well, but everything else is taking a hit and a number seem to either be in freefall or plateauing at unsustainable grosses.

Schmigadoon doesn't seem to be getting a significant post Tony's bump

Just 5 weeks in, but we’re down by over 10% this fiscal season so far.

Because it sucks and WOM matters more than a Tony win"

Not seen the stage show but did watch the TV show. Its quite a niche show, its very much one big 'in joke' that you need to know the golden age of musicals quite well to fully get and appreciate. And that audience is more limited. Especially these days 

Do we know the running costs over at Gatsby? Based on where the grosses have been coming in, I’m a bit surprised it hasn’t announced closing, especially since it’s such a big cast. And a big theater!

Six grossed more than Chicago? 

At least this weekend is the last World Cup game until the 19th.

Short of them absolutely tanking or investors pulling themselves out, I think they will likely keep running until January. They have been at or slightly above their weekly breakeven ($850-900K) for most of the run so far, though I agree that the Tony was really needed to give them a swift kick upward into safer territory. The herd of shows is thinning and CATS is also nixing Sundays and doing Monday night starting next week, so they might pick up residual audiences from that.

While not very profitable, I still think that the very low overhead for TWO STRANGERS is very similar to MINCEMEAT in that it’s a very cheap show to run and even in leaner weeks, it’s still landing a little more toward the black than the red.

I agree that this coming week is probably going to be brutal for most since the heat will keep people away and the holiday weekend takes out the most profitable day of the week (Saturday) and most shows are doing a Friday Mat/Sunday Eve replacement. Some of these long runners feel like they are just open out of spite, like SIX. I thought GATSBY would’ve folded a while ago, but somehow they remain open and the producers are throwing money into it. Gotta respect the hustle.

I consider it a win for Team Sherie Rene Scott! (Her first performance on Friday was entirely sold out)

I will say that I am curious as to what will happen with Rocky Horror after 7/19, if there are any more cast changes and how that will affect sales. Part of what drove demand was the scarcity of tickets since it was supposed to be a limited run. Now that they have extended to November, I wonder if there will be a softening point in the future like other shows are showing now"

When will further cast changes be announced?  I am going on 7/26.

CoffeeBreak said: "I bet they have some aces up their sleeve for replacements. Hopefully some cast with more professional cred to enhance the show."

Why do you constantly impugn people with established careers just because you don’t like their work? There was never anybody in the cast who wasn’t an established professional.

And I'm sure you will continue to keep us all posted on just how terribly things are going.

 

I'm a bit surprised Moulin Rouge hasn't picked up more as it heads towards its end of summer closing. I'm sure it will once August rolls around. 

Regarding the Schmigadoon bump, I think it's pretty solid. Not an Outsiders level bump but it's doing way better than it was before its win and hanging in strong territory.

Could we be entering a January 2009 moment this summer with mass closings across the board? I hope not.
