Not as bad as I’d expected for Cabaret, really.
I suppose that half a million drop for Hamilton was due to comps across its 10th anniversary weekend?

Anyone know if John Proctor or Purpose are close to recouping?

My uncle and my cousin and her best friend (AIDS, AIDS, AIDS)

Mostly calm this week, before the end-of-summer drop until Labor Day weekend. (Lots of schools around the country started back up yesterday.)
Faint praise, but also not as bad as I expected for Jeff Ross.
In its first full week back on Broadway, MAMMA MIA! was the fourth-highest grossing title of the current bunch, but dare I say their numbers feel a little... underwhelming? I honestly was expecting $2 million-plus for this, maybe we'll get it during the holiday season.
Remember that HAMILTON had a performance last week mostly made up of $10 lottery winners, plus an invite-only perf for their 10th anniversary!
Nice bump for Jinkx and co. over at OH, MARY!
Last-chancers are flocking to PURPOSE, GYPSY, and JOHN PROCTOR which keeps on climbing.
Oh look, a bibu!

That Cabaret number- yikes. Does anyone think it might not make it to October?

That Call Me Izzy number is embarrassing. Cannot believe it's still open.

The average and top ticket prices are great though. Way better than some other shows. It's just that the attendance is super low.

Jeff Ross with a $37 average ticket price 😝
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

It's really hard to believe that Hell's Kitchen and The Outsiders haven't recouped yet. They are both running for almost 1.5 years and both are doing very well.

Third week in a row Cabaret has reached a new lowest gross for its run. I suspect this upper-mid 500k range is going to be the new average for its grosses, which is really not going to be sustainable for over two more months.

Mamma Mia only played 7 performances. An eighth performance would have brought is above $1.8. I have to admit that I am not surprised, and assume — between this and The Wiz and Beetlejuice, Broadway will have another source of product.
In the 60s, you never saw revivals of musicals on Broadway. Maybe classics for 2 week runs at City Center or 6 week runs at. Lincoln Center in the summer. I guess that the smash revival of No! No! Nanette! Changed things forever.
Hopefully, we will not see this becoming a significant factor in the future, as touring production values are generally inferior to Broadway, among other reasons.

It's a one person play with one standby. How high can the nut be on this? I imagine they are still making money even with those low grosses.

Yeah. It’s getting to look like a situation where they just need to put it out of its misery already. It was outperformed by even CHICAGO of all shows. When I went last Tuesday, the orchestra seats seemed to only be sold within an hour of curtain when I was looking around on the website for kicks. Even then, about 25% of the orchestra was empty and the mezzanine was…yikes.
I’ll be forever grateful that I got to see Marisha burn down the house with the title number because that was worth the $50 I paid for a secondhand ticket. But I was told last week that if things didn’t pick up, to expect an early closing notice going up this week or next week.

Yeah, kind of a problem. It's so odd people keep defending this show. The top ticket prices are so high! Cool story but considering capacity is hovering around 50%, it makes no difference.
Once again, Cabaret had similar numbers in June so given how much of a non event it turned out to be for the past 18 months, they may wrap around Labor Day.

I would guess Hell's Kitchen is more expensive and it hasn't been doing quite as well so that doesn't shock me but The Outsiders has GOT to be close. It's been doing about as well as it could do for a long time now.

I fully agree that I don't want a tour stop on Bway to become thing. But to your other point: Revivals may not have been a big thing until the 60s - but is that because we still seldom revive musicals from thr 50s and earlier? There are some, of course - but nothing like the library we now hold.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

During the 1940s, there were a number of revivals -- Sally, Desert Song, Red Mill, Student Prince, Show Boat, Sweethearts. The 1950s and 1960s had mostly new shows, so the only revivals were at City Center or Lincoln Center for shorter runs. The 1970s is when there were fewer new musicals with broad appeal, so there were more revivals and revisals-- No No Nanette, Irene, Good News, Candide, Lorelei, Gigi, and Very Good Eddie. Faithful duplications included The Desert Song, My Fair Lady, Brigadoon, On The Town, and Yul Brenner in King and I. The 1980s and 1990s saw more touring shows that "dropped in" for a Broadway engagement -- Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady, Richard Burton and Richard Harris in Camelot, later Richard Chamberlains' My Fair Lady, then Music Man twice (Dick Van Dyke, then Stroman revival) Hal Prince's Show Boat, and that eternal revisal Grease, then Chicao which is still playing. It seems revivals and revisals only appear when there is a lack of good new product and producers fear taking risks, so they return to the older shows with "stars" that will promise payback and a lucrative national tour.

Tomorrow’s matinee of Cabaret is currently about 20% sold, and most of those sold seats are far away from the stage. So it will feel more like a rehearsal than a performance.

To an above question, I believe Purpose has already recouped. They just haven't announced it yet.
The only show with a worse average ticket price than Cabaret is Jeff Ross!? LOL. That is dire. There is no financial reason for this show to make it to October. But considering the producers were crazy enough to extend it that far with this cast in the first place, I think they might just be crazy enough to keep it open until the announced date. Perhaps they have accepted that they will lose a few million more dollars and they are rich enough that it doesn't bother them.

I'm curious as to the timing surrounding when a show announces recoupment. For instance, & Juliet recouped its initial investment the week ending April 14, 2024 but didn't announce that they had until June 11. Is the timing related to budget vs capitalization (i.e. initial investment, priority loans, tax credit repayments, etc.)?
Granted, & Juliet's investment was $17 million whereas the average investment nowadays is $20-25 million.

There is no set formula to announcing a recoupment. And it involves a variety of factors.
First off, there is no rule saying that shows must make such an announcement. And indeed, many do not. It used to feel like tradition to make this announcement, but the landscape has shifted in recent years. There is a growing trend among limited run shows to announce recoupment at the end of the run. Open ended musicals are more likely to announce closer to when the actual recoupment happens. Often it comes down to optics and the need (or lack of need) for press around such a thing. An open ended big-budget musical needs lots of different types of press over the course of its life. And saying "we recouped! Yay!" is equivalent to saying "we are a success!" which attracts ticket buyers. In the &Juliet example you mention, the gap of a few weeks might have to do with finalizing paperwork, creating social and press materials, or simply waiting for an opportune slot in their press schedule. Limited runs, by contrast often have tightly planned press schedules over however many months. So this announcement is often saved for the final week or two because it has the celebratory "going out with a bang" feel to it. It may also depend on the overall landscape of the season. If it's been a rough year and tons of shows are flopping financially, some producers feel it in bad taste to announce a recoupment, as if it were boasting.
