I'm impressed with the numbers for Aladdin, Kinky Boots and Phantom! Wow.

Great Comet: 98% capacity for weeks, still at risk for closing. It takes a lot of performances at 100% cap for a show to recoup, everyone.

Still amazed at Come From Away. I hear so very little and see so little marketing and publicity and yet...

As was noted above, the advance is apparently non-existent, which implies that if they retain 98% capacity it will probably be at the cost of significant additional discounting. They are already at only 84% of potential gross and grossing 900k. What's the weekly nut? I can't imagine it's less than 7-something even without a headliner as it's a big cast..

Ain't no way Doll's House is lasting until January.

Come From Away is doing fantastic, and with such a low nut. I hope it sparks a trend of less expensive shows that have more room to be successful.

When I said that the recasting of A Doll's House was going to kill the show, I was met with a lot of hate, but the grosses agree with me. It probably won't make it till January.

The Great Comet will see a huge drop after August 13. They have basically no advance. It's hard for me to imagine that won't close before the end of August.

Not surprised at the large drop for A Dolls House Part 2. I figured that if you were going to see it you'd see it with Metcalf unless you were a fan of Julie White. I am however surprised that Ingrid Michaelson had that many fans who would go to see her on Broadway.

Yeah same. When my gf and I saw it for a second time I broke the news that Brittain would be out (gf loves her) but told her some indie singer was taking her place. Told her the name and she freaked out. Had never heard of her, she was great in the show though

comets said: "I will admit though, knowing that she was her forced replacement takes some of the magic out of it."

Ingrid may have been as unaware of the situation as Mandy was...

I too am surprised at how much Ingrid has bought in alone. That's why I think we shouldn't rule out Rainn Wilson or whoever if they bring someone else in, they may be the same unexpected surprise in boosting grosses.

When I first came upon this board, the million dollar club was a big deal. Now a days it seems to be the norm. Glad for the shows, but ouch to my credit card.
