The post-Tonys slaughter is going to have a lot of victims this year.
On the bright side at least Newsies and Once are holding up extremely well, Newsies dropping by maybe 6 tickets less than last week, and once gaining.
Also Peter and the Starcatcher despite its drop those a great numbers for it. It should definitely be hitting its nut and then some. It would guess its nut is at $350,000-$400,000, or else the producers are crazy for thinking a play can make more than that.
Peter and the Starcatcher, One Man Two Guvnors, and Clyborne Park made more money percentage wise than most of the musicals on Broadway with the exception of the sellout (wicked, Mormon, lion king, newsies, once, EVITA)
The only shows I think the Tonys will slaughter are Ghost and Jesus Christ Superstar, but Ghost doEs have a strong chance of winning its technicals since no one wants to give them to spiderman...
On the note of Godspell it's going to last the summer it's not nominated for any awards so it not gonna close immediately following the Tonys, maybe end of June but not next week like Ghost and Superstar.

It's like Broadway bled out of major arteries this week. That was painful to look at.
Owee for my favorite show. "Chicago" is like the Energizer bunny...keeps on going and going and going. from RC in Austin, Texas
So is ROA ever going to recoup? For a show that has been running three years now, it's done consistently well gross and percentage wise.
ROA is basically the new Grease revival/Ragtime/Jecklyl and Hyde despite selling extremely well it's money has been so mismanaged that it's never going to recoup.

A negative reaction at the box office after the Tony Awards performance will pull that Ol Yeller, Bwaykitty
Godspell May Close June 24 if Tony Awards Appearance Doesn't Improve Ticket Sales

there's no way their one minute performance at the Tony Awards will give them a boost. It's closing June 24.

It is worth a try for the producers of "Godspell", for a Tony boost. Hopefully, it will make a positive impact. (Meanwhile, I'm scratching my head as to why "Leap" is performing at the Tonys.) from RC in Austin, Texas
Leap of Faith is performing For their apparent tour...and for stock and ameratur productions...the later makes much more sense since will all know the formers going to come together like the Little Mermaid and Tarzan tours (never happened). I know personally from my hs theatrical experiences my schools director who I still keeps in touch with uses b-roll to help decide on the which show as well help actors understand what the ultimate goal is.
