Yay for GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE! TONYs really helped them a lot. I'm astonished by how they are now selling out and selling 100%!

Glad that CRIPPLE is on the upswing prior to the end of its run. BULLETS is doing a little better. Maybe it will do better as Woody Allen's next (Magic in the Moonlight) hits screens.

Ouch for ONCE, ROCKY, ROCK OF AGES. I wonder why NEWSIES is pulling the plug and those three shows aren't. HOLLER's producers must know it's a flop by now!

I suppose it makes no difference if Holler continues to lose money, since its longevity has no correlation to its box office...

Rock of Ages has a low total but it's also in the smallest theater. Its gross potential is higher than Pippin.

"Rock of Ages has a low total but it's also in the smallest theater. Its gross potential is higher than Pippin."

They may be in the smallest theater but they've still got a cast of around 14-15 plus swings/understudies and the band. That's a lot to carry when you're only grossing $284,000 a week.

Not sure how Once could have only a modest $8k drop in box office, how dies this equates to a hefty 20% drop.

Cinderella is talking to a new Prince was the latest whisper I heard.

Pippin also should do some new advertising or bring in a major celebrity pretty soon.

I really don't understand why and how Holler If Ya Hear Me is still running (aside from the fact that their producers are clearly idiots). They must be hemorrhaging money at this point.

Not a great week, especially for the summer. I don't think 'Cinderella' will stay open past the summer months, especially since it has not had great grosses these past two weeks. Besides Fran Drescher leaving, a reason for its decline is that 'Aladdin' has been taking away its family audiences. Even when it closes, it still had a decent run and I am so glad that I got the chance to see it on Broadway.

Re: Pippin

I don't know, most revivals (Chicago, aside) run approx. a year, to a year and a half. Seems about right.

that being said Pippin does have the same main producers as Chicago, so we never know what will happen.

Pippin needs to keep a gay icon in the role of Berthe. No idea why they cast Lopez for roughly a month. Was Susan Lucci not available?

If you look at last week they had a much lower average ticket price, the lowest they had all year. So though they sold fewer tickets this week, those tickets were sold at a higher price (which leads one to conclude that there were a lot of comps and/or heavily discounted tickets sold last week for whatever reason).

I liked Rocky

Having said that, someone with deep pockets is keeping it alive.Hopefully it will last until years end. No hope after that.

Isn't this the time when shows start to drop like flies? Never mind the limited engagements, I expect more closing notices soon.

Once offered $47 tickets all of July 4 week, hence why their capacity was high, but their grosses & ticket average was still low.

Isn't Labor Day when a lot of shows tend to disappear? Sort of like that first Sunday in January?
