Good numbers for Chicago. Amazing Grace needs some divine intervention.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Hamilton's numbers are what producers' dreams are made of.

Hamilton says Top Ticket $275.00 but when I went to purchase this past Saturday Premium was listed as $327.00 prior to fees.

Continually impressed with how steady Finding Neverland has been, this is it's 18 straight week of 1M + plus gross and only week has fallen below 90% attendance.

I wonder what caused the bump in attendance for A Gentleman's Guide... Almost everyone's numbers went up but their jump seems more significant.

VintageSnarker, Could it be TDF tickets for GG or a new discount? As the $ didn't really jump as much as the attendance.

Oh, that's a good point. Not to break any rules but I did see a batch of discount tickets released on a certain website. I considered buying one myself but I think I'd rather risk rush than partial view for more or less the same price.

Great week for broadway theater. Those Fun Home 100%+ capacities are going to be going on for a while. I could tell just from sitting in the front row yesterday that the standing room for this show is extremely comfortable. Not to mention it was completely packed up there. Thats the best deal on Broadway this season. && thanks TodayTix for my $32 front row Fun Home seat! The show was effing astonishing, mindblowing, jaw-dropping,surreal, etc. && meeting Zell at the stagedoor was everything 
Use my code "YZTFG" for $20 OFF tickets on TodayTix!

Headband can't comment on anything without acting like an idiot by insulting someone else. Don't take the troll seriously.

Go Amazing Grace!! Maybe they are starting to build an audience

Posted: 7/20/15 at 4:44pmThey're not. A 4% increase in gross potential isn't sufficient; their attendance last week was only up due to papering of the house for press performances.

Posted: 7/20/15 at 4:49pmThey're not making very MUCH money every week and they have a sizable overhead. They got dismissive notices and a big show to run; ticket sales will stagnate if not flat-out decline. They won't last to September.

How does On the Town keep going when every week is a struggle to fill 60 percent of the seats? Who knows. If it stays open more people may want to check it out and it might be re-reviewed? Is that what they are dreaming?
I'm about ready to see it, on the cheap of course.

"Premiums aren't included in "top ticket" are they? "
To my knowledge, they ARE included. I believe that the top ticket price is a premium ticket.

I'd be curious to know if any of our more box office savvy friends could address how the reporting of the grosses and "Top Ticket" figures have changed with the introduction of Dynamic Pricing techniques and if that is in fact the highest price of the given week or whether it is a claimed highest price but subject to circumstantial variation like Premium pricing. Different shows take dynamic pricing to different extents...
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
