Posted: 7/8/13 at 3:10pmI'm surprised that Bountiful extended to October, yet the grosses are in the 40's percentile?

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)

Posted: 7/8/13 at 3:24pmThe Phantom of the Opera has grossed over 1 million dollars a week for the past ten weeks, and a total of 15 weeks out of 27 weeks so far this year. And it is 25 years old. Very impressive for a 25-year-old show.

But not for Cinderella! It was the ONLY musical that had a performance the night of July 4 (I think but am not certain that The Nance was also up that night), and it was obviously both a very curious decision and a poor one to boot. I wonder why they did it, instead of inserting an additional matinee on Friday the fifth like several other shows did.
Hard to know what, if anything, they were thinking.

Posted: 7/8/13 at 3:32pmI'm sure the Cinderella producers were thinking that of the millions upon millions of people in the tri-state area, surely at least 1,500 or so would not care about the fireworks and July 4th festivities and would be interested in a show instead. Since Cinderella was the only show open that night, it stood a decent chance of doing well. The grosses didn't break down how well each performance did. So who knows, maybe the July 4th show was the best of the week.

Posted: 7/8/13 at 3:35pmPhantom, it wasn't, by far. As others here pointed out, there were tons of available seats for that performance, at deep discounts.

Posted: 7/8/13 at 4:39pmA $1 million weekly gross for 'Cinderella' is still good because its weekly costs are reportedly $650,000 - $700,000. Last year, the Broadway Theatre's previous musical 'Sister Act' grossed $701,755. 'Cinderella' has been doing better than both 'Sister Act' and 'Shrek the Musical'.

Posted: 7/8/13 at 5:10pmThey played four performances last week, versus eight the week before. And at four performances, they were still the highest grossing straight play on the boards.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

"Oh. I did not know that, I apologize."
The information is right there. Try looking at all of the columns.

Call me naive... but why are people so rude here? Why take the extra time to answer something like "try looking at all of the columns".... ???
Doesn't it take less energy of being annoyed to just simply ignore the person who didn't look at all the info?
I have seen this kind of thing over and over and I just don't get why people NEED to reply to people in a rude way when it has nothing to do with a theater opinion or what not, but simply reflects an adolescent need to pick on people?
OK... that's all I have to say. I post on here sparingly because I've always had someone jump down my throat even when I've posted something I think will be totally benign. Similarly, I don't understand why it is so offensive to start a new thread on something when there is a thread that has 20 pages of other comments, and it is impossible to know if it is new or not.

Posted: 7/9/13 at 1:15amYeah, what six pack said. I must agree that sometimes we (me myself included) come off as really rude. I don't think we mean it sometimes, it's just the wording. But still, I can't disagree with abs, I just can't! LOL

Posted: 7/9/13 at 8:49amI was at Cinderella on the evening of July 4th and the Rear Mezz was rather full, but the last two rows of the Front Mezz were empty. Lots of people moving up after intermission.

Posted: 7/9/13 at 9:20amPeople like AEA AGMA SM are the reason I often don't bother to post comments here. Why on earth when someone actually just apologized for not checking or knowing, would they need to be scolded yet again for not having done so? Geez. What an a______e.

I'm glad so many people find this kind of rude behavior so contemptible. I have a particular disgust for those like person B below:
A: I hear Kelly O'Hara is going to be back on Broadway in the spring.
B: Who's Kelly O'Hara?
I mean, B, are you really so stupid that you can't recognize a name despite a tiny typo? Or are you just a world-class dick?

Posted: 7/9/13 at 6:11pmAgreed with all of the above ^-^. If you think it makes you look great to be a bitch over the tiniest of things, you're making really stupid life choices.

I too feel that the previous comment in this thread is gratuitously mean.

Posted: 7/9/13 at 6:18pmAEA is merely stating a fact. He wasn't being rude, an a.h. or anything of the sort. It is quite possible that some are just being overly sensitive. Peace.

Obviously the poster did NOT know the information was readily available. You can't assume someone was being snarky, when they could have simply been direct.
I can't say I understand all the nastiness around here, but much of the time it's people "correcting" others that doesn't need to happen, either. You act as if you are sticking up for folks, when all you are doing is dressing down others as well. ie. the poster that referred to AEA as an as...le. How was that polite?
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
