Attagirl, Julie.

At 1.1 million, ITW is still making money.

Where are you seeing a drop? The chart I'm looking at shows a modest increase ($55,000) and about a 2.5% increase in capacity. Sure it's down from the Bareilles weeks, but still very healthy and over $1M.

I Believe the link was originally taking us to last week’s grosses.

I'm not too surprised by MJ. The song sequences are incredibly well done. The book scenes in between are filler, but they're almost needed to recover from the thrilling energy of the songs. And, it is so loud that it doesn't matter if people near you yell or sing along because you won't be able to hear them.

If you look at the seating charts in the days and weeks ahead for Into the Woods, it does look like it's not necessarily going to be the smoothest sailing.

Where is Music Man? It performed last week- is this the first time Hamilton grossed under $2mil ?

I had a good feeling from the start that MJ would be a guaranteed money-maker (like it or not). No shockers for me.
It’s in great shape in NY and will sell like hotcakes on tour starting next year.

Not to mention a few forthcoming musicals with humbling ticket sales thus far."

I've seen alot of references on this board to Hadestown being likely to close in the next few months because its been having financial problems. I'll admit I don't know much about the business side of Broadway all that well, but Hadestown has generally been playing to 90%+ capacity. I know there is the issue of papering, but it looks like their gross has been hanging steady. I may be wrong but I believe its repaid its initial investment. I wouldn't think it has (relatively) too high a cost to run. So why are people thinking its end is near? I'm not disagreeing, just asking for explination.

Thanks ljay, you’re right, I just clicked again and saw the fresh numbers.

I do think people are forgetting these grosses are reflective of Broadway Week sales and they fact that some of these shows are pulling in these numbers when the prices are literally half off is quite a feat.

I was super worried that ASL’s would’ve gone down with the Broadway Week sales (especially with balcony seats being $25 apiece), but it seems to be back on an upswing after a middling August and I love to see it!
