Posted: 7/22/13 at 3:34pmWow...9 shows with 1 million plus weekly grosses. Top 3: Lion King: 2.316 million plus, Wicked: 1.907 million plus and Mormon: 1.749 million plus. Those numbers for Lion King are out of this world! Nice to see my favorite show Chicago doing well.
"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)

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Posted: 7/22/13 at 3:49pmNot surprised to see Annie fall, and I think that will continue. Interesting that Cinderella had the biggest dollar increase from the prior week (up $69K) of any show that did eight performances the prior week with the exception of The Lion King.

The ridiculous LION KING gross is inflated by a 9-show week, but still damn that's a hell of a number.
Nice bump for FOREVER TANGO after opening, even with lower attendance, though some of that surely is an artifact of comps opening night.
Hadn't really seen it before looking at the graph, but there's a stark drop from the long-running and clear hits and the newbies and not-for-profits. Great to see VANYA AND SONIA... so clearly in the former category, but BOUNTIFUL is surprising me with its extensions. It must be hitting its nut...
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.

Well, it's not common for folks to go trash the shown on the show's own social media pages.

Posted: 7/22/13 at 11:30pmSoul Doctor had an average ticket price of just $37 and it's average gross per show comes to only $22,000. That's likely A LOT of comps.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011.

First Date does have a good percentage, but the gross and average ticket prices are a bit worrying.
I know it's still previews, but I wouldn't wish that long-term on them.
Everything in life...is only for now.

Posted: 7/23/13 at 10:51amAlso, Zac Levi wasn't there this past week. Which could have prevented some people from going this week. I'm not sure how much of a draw he is, it will be interesting to see where it goes next week.
