Great first week numbers for A CHORUS LINE.

Not so good -- WEDDING SINGER at $433K

And Usher's made CHICAGO SRO.

pretty weak week overall.


I think Shannon, Diana and Haylie need to make a trip over to The View for a lil bit of Rosie's fairy dust.

Chorus Line also had a really robust average ticket price of $104.70, which is a great start.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

YEAH A CHORUS LINE!!!!!!!!! Great start!!

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.

Is it just me, or has The Lion King really taken a hit?

Unless Wedding Singer brings in Adam Sandler, it's gone soon enough.

Is Rent still breaking even?

How can A Chorus Line not be making that much when it's prices are just so outrageous?

Poor Wedding Singer...and I'm really shocked at Hairspray (and Spelling Bee's grosses for that matter).

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

TLK made a hefty profit...

It's older, now, so it won't be doing crazy business during the off season...but it's still a blockbuster for its age.

How to properly use its/it's: Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

What is going on with Rent and Phantom? Is Rent Breaking even, and how much longer can it last with those numbers? When is The Producers going to pick up, terrible numbers lately.

"How can A Chorus Line not be making that much when it's prices are just so outrageous?"

Huh? $760K for a 7 show week in a 1000 seat theatre isn't a lot? That's HUGE -- probably close to a record for that theatre (which usually hosts plays and smallish musicals). It'll probably be close to $900K for a regular 8 show week which will put it in the among the top 5 or 6 grossers on Broadway -- amazing for a show in such a small theater.

Margo, I totally understand why it's making that much. I meant that it should be making that much when it's ticket prices are so expensive. I meant that I expected it's grosses to be so high.

I'm really curious about Rent's break even... if it's less than $200,00 it could really run until 2189 - I guess it costs very little to run, but the cast is not that small - compared to Spelling Bee, for example.

Looks like Max & Leo will be gone soon

Too bad about The Wedding Singer

How long before Spamalot does a Producers - get killer reviews & goes from selling out to dropping grosses. i know it will not be anytime soon but I think it is a fair comparison

Responding to little sally's post, again, Chorus Line is in a small theatre, seating just over 1,000 people (1,069, to be exact). 1,000 capacity x $100.00 average ticket x 7 performances equals 700,000, meaning Chorus Line performed at just about its highest possible gross potential, save for if it starts selling lots of premium tickets, a la Jersey Boys or Wicked.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

A Chorus Line: Wow!
Wedding Singer: Yay! Here comes Curtains!

Yeah, I think Curtains has found its theater.

I'm loving how Jersey Boys played to 52.4% capacity during its first week of previews. Now look at it. Way to go Jersey Boys!

I saw Jersey Boys that first week of previews...after seeing it two times after that, it is so weird that the theater was half empty the first time i saw the show - though the audience response was still enthusiastic.

I still don't think the Singer is going anywhere till the end of the year.
