It breaks my heart to see that WAR PAINT number.

Maybe g-hog day could replace Karl with Mandy Patinkin.

GHD is my favorite thing on Broadway right now, but even I have to be realistic about its future. Sigh.

Miss Saigon was at least always suppose to be a limited run. Whether or not it ends up making it to January 14th remains to be seen.

The great comet did not do that much worse without Ingrid last week. Well she only did one performance, but that's pretty much the entire week. I know this doesn't mean anything, especially now, but I wonder what would happen if the show stayed open (which I hope it does but based on everyone's responses in other threads it seems the end is coming) without any stars.

War Paint not that expensive to run? With 2 divas pulling in star salaries I will bet it is 650-700 to break even.

GHD's numbers hurt even more when you compare it to Anastasia, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, two film-to-stage adaptations that were IMO far inferior as shows."

I'm not sure how much Charlie & the Chocolate Factory really counts as a film-to-stage adaptation considering that its main source material is the Roald Dahl novel (using songs from the Gene Wilder film doesn't count).

So happy to see Indecent end on such a high note!!!! Of course I'm sad about it closing but happy it was so well received!

I saw Bandstand again last Friday and it was completely full. I'm not saying everyone paid full price or tickets were not comped but people were there. It's a GREAT show, and I'm sad about those numbers. Groundhog Day has been pretty consistent, but I hope they go up towards the end of the tourist season. I don't think it will get better in the Fall, sadly.

Yikes at The Play That Goes Wrong..... saw it on a whim yesterday, definitely one of the funniest shows I've seen in a while. Sad it's not doing well

Looks like most shows were down this past week. Was the week before a big week for tourists or something?

"Bandstand" is likely cheaper to run than "WP" or "GHD." But isn't it all about advance at this point? Shows without stars or name (brand) value do not generally see an uptick in August. In September, the business can rebound or not. I would guess "BS" needs to stay where it is, going no lower, but it's hanging on. I suspect Tuesday is a day we see some decisions reached. I join those hoping "BS" sails on. My (surprise) favorite
