Man! Shrek and Mary are down again! 
re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/20#3
Posted: 9/21/09 at 3:17pmUm... Shrek went up... Only a little, but still up.
re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/20#4
Posted: 9/21/09 at 3:18pmActually, Shrek is up a tad from last week.
re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/20#5
Posted: 9/21/09 at 3:23pmI think Kirby means in the sense that Shrek is down from the 80% is used to get.
re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/20#6
Posted: 9/21/09 at 3:32pmWell yeah, I DO realize that it had a slight bump, but they're way down below their nut... Saveusmike got what I meant- they're not doing nearly as well as they should be. On the other hand, this was a rather positive week for some shows, as this is supposed to be the slowest week in September.

Posted: 9/21/09 at 3:47pmIN THE HEIGHTS is the one that really made me do a double take.
re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/20#8
Posted: 9/21/09 at 4:14pmNice to see a little bump for Next To Normal. But what happened at the Broadhurst? Hamlet's attendance went down 20%, now at 68.8% ... Ouch.
re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/20#9
Posted: 9/21/09 at 4:19pmthe only shows with scary numbers are Poppins, Shrek & In The Heights. hang in there!!

On Wednesday night, the mezz at Hamlet was barely half full. THe last three rows, which are $26.50, were completely full, of course.
Also, the fact that n2n's percentage went up slightly is irrelevant. Their gross, which is the important number, went down. Still above the reported nut, but down nonetheless.
re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/20#11
Posted: 9/21/09 at 4:27pmIs it just me, or do these numbers seem a lot less worse or, at least not as bad as the horrible drops we often see in September?

On the whole, they are about the same, but there are fewer shows heading into September this year, so some of the weaker shows have already been weeded out. The powerhouses like Wicked, BE, JB, etc are hardly effected at all, you see moderate drops in the shows like ROA, Chicago, and then some other shows (especially the kiddie ones) are getting killed. If 9-5 hadn't closed, it would be getting killed as well.
I'm not sur how Shrek in gonna last without Dreamworks or whoever putting up major buck to keep them afloat. They have to be losing #350-$400K a week right now.

What's up with the Hamlet #'s 68% Wasn't that supposed to be a sell out hit b/c of Jude Law? 68% seems far from sold out
re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/20#14
Posted: 9/21/09 at 4:39pmI'm glad to see WSS over $1 million again. Although it only dipped under that for one week.

I think word of mouth is getting out. I saw at least ten people sleeping during the show the other night. And it was a Saturday evening, with the mezzanine about 60% full.

Young Frankenstein was expected to sell out because of the cast...

re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/20#20
Posted: 9/21/09 at 5:59pmI appreciate that After Miss Julie only had 5 shows this week but this is the first time I've seen a show in the 5-digit range for their gross.

A very large portion of the tickets sold for this show this weekend were priced at $10, because of the ACCESS10 program.
WSS also took a tumble.
Uhh, no it didn't. It went up in gross, % capacity, and total attendance. How did it take a tumble?
