If my memory is correct, the last two weeks in August typically mark the beginning of the down market which often continues into the late fall. I note that DEH has fallen under $1.6 million for the first time in like forever (not that anyone’s worrying about DEH which is still well over 100% of gross potential.)

SUMMER is also hitting that downward spiral too. We might have the Lunt back in time for spring.

Springsteen only did 4 performances instead of 5.

I’m honestly predicting a January closing with an announcement to see it on the West End in February if you love the show.

Rough week for Gettin' The Band Back Together, Head Over Heels, Once On This Island - could Hadestown score Circle in The Square?, Kinky Boots, Summer - can this really last until next year?, Waitress - yes needs a star now.

I went to Summer on Friday Night. 3/4 of the rear mezzanine was empty, and everyone was either in the back back (which were assumably the cheapest tickets) or the front 3-4 rows and once the show started, all those people in the back moved up. I don’t see it lasting much longer.

PRETTY WOMAN up $90,000. Looks like it may be critic-proof and have a healthy run.

This was Once on This Island's lowest-grossing week of the year. And I can't imagine it has a good advance for the fall.

I'm wondering if this is true or if it will have more of a Summer-like trajectory which had several weeks over a million dollars and then went into swift decline. I know some might argue that Mean Girls has proven "critic-proof," but I think there's an enormous difference between the tepid reviews MG got and the out and out pans for PW.

Unfortunately, we did not chat Dame but my agent friend in the business told me.

This developing relationship is almost as exciting as watching all these shows spiral downward into nothingness.
