"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)

Unless Sister Act gets their act together at the box office, I think it'll be gone by January.

And another amazing week for Spider-Man! Congrats!

Also, how long do you guys see CATCH ME lasting with those numbers? Compared to MEMPHIS it seems about the same and MEMPHIS has gone on for a while now...

Does anyone know Sister Act's weekly running costs? I don't understand why everyone's saying it's doing so awfully. It may not be at maximum capacity but it's still pulling in over $700,000 a week. Is it so expensive to run?

I can't imagine it's too expensive. It's the same sets and everything from London. So I can't imagine it was too expensive to mount on Broadway, and it doesn't have a HUGE cast or anything.

WICKED did 120% of potential? After, what, a decade?

That just amazes me.

Legallybroadway...not gonna lie...I'm shocked by their numbers. They will be around for a while. The real question is if when they do close...if it will be after earning a profit.

Wicked didn't really do 120% of their potential. They raised their orchestra prices for the summer (it's now $141.25) but for some reason that's not reflected in the grosses. The Lion King also raised their orchestra prices and that change IS shown - you can see on 05/29 their potential went from $1,526,632 to $1,690,268.

WICKED has hit the magic $2 million. I believe it was last holiday season if I'm not incorrect. I know it was a big deal cuz it was first for any Bway show.

I said on a week that wasn't on an occasion. They hit 2 million only during holiday season.
