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.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:27pmWicked, 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.

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...?

Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:35pmI'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.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:37pm9to5 actually went up this week.
#12re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 7/12
Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:38pmI 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.

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.
#19re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 7/12
Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:40pmThe 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.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:50pmAccording to whom...? Everyone's been reporting different numbers for 9 TO 5's nut.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:51pmIt 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.
