Good to see Waiting for Godot leaving with those grosses.
Great week for Shrek!!
Best week yet for Billy
Good for SHREK! Whether or not this business will continue into the school-year is questionable but it looks like they're going to have a great summer.
Come on, 9 TO 5. I don't get what is keeping people from making this show a sold-out smash. It's got all the ingredients of a tourist-phenom. And I've yet to hear really bad word of mouth about it. Everyone I've talked to enjoyed themselves quite a lot at the show.

Yay Rock of Ages! Good week for practically everybody.
Wicked, I don't know that's it's bad word of mouth hurting 9 TO 5 so much as it is a lack of GOOD word of mouth. I know a lot of people, myself included, who thought the show was percfectly...fine. I don't know anyone who loved it. And trust me, as a huge Dolly Parton fan, I wish I was more of a supporter.
And I've yet to hear really bad word of mouth about it.
Uhh...
blaxx, sure people on BWW hate it but people on BWW also despise WICKED with a burning passion but it still has great word of mouth. Ditto to the reviews; Brantley trashed WICKED as well. The people I've talked to about it who saw it enjoyed themselves. And every time I've left the theater, every single person I saw left with a smile on their face or in a really great mood.
I really wish people (like Sauja did) would attempt to have a DISCUSSION with people about stuff like this instead of rudely commenting on something they say with "Uhh..." How am I supposed to defend my comment if I have no idea what that's supposed to mean...?

I'm kind of surprised to see 9 to 5 dropping as well; however, I am THRILLED to see that Hair is continuing to do so well. It's going to recoup any week now.
9to5 actually went up this week.
I loved 9 TO 5, have seen it four times, and have been recommending it to everyone I know...obviously though, it hasn't been enough. Still its numbers aren't *terrible,* they are just less than most of the other shows.

The capacity dropped slightly, but 925's numbers have been lower than they were earlier on in the run.
Looks like Samantha Harris IS selling tickets.
She's working at the TKTS booth too?
I think it's more that '9 to 5' got pretty much ignored at the Tonys and this resulted in very poor buzz, especially compared to sell-outs like 'Billy Elliot' and 'Hair', the shows which everyone are still talking about.
I continue to be wowed at Hair's numbers every week. Week #4 grossing over $1 million. They must be very close to recouping.
Yeah keep in mind that while '9to5' is only selling 74%, it's selling 5000 MORE seats than Next to normal, amongst other things...
Whoowhoo Phantom.
The difference between the two shows last week was less than 4000 seats and keep in mind that next to normal probably costs about half as much to run as 9 to 5.

Keep in mind that Broadway grosses do not subtract the credit card fees and group sales fees anymore.
According to whom...? Everyone's been reporting different numbers for 9 TO 5's nut.
It was in one of Reidel's articles after it opened.
<< Brantley trashed WICKED as well. >>
Thats a bit of a misconception, that has been discussed on the boards a few times.
He certainly wasnt a big fan of the show, but if you go back and read his review, he liked the performances, and wrote an absolute love letter to KC.
I remember reading his review, and really wanting to see the show. I think, if anything, his review helped sell tickets.
