They might have an extra special stunt-casted guest star performing on that nite.

Chicago is experimenting with dynamic pricing, where performances that are more in demand cost more- sort of like airline flights.
I guess there is a high demand for Thursday evening performances, so it costs more.

Posted: 5/30/09 at 3:03pmI can't imagine that Thursday performances are more in demand than Friday-Sunday performances, which are cheaper.

That's weird.
Also, am I the only person who consistently forgets that "Chicago" is even still open until somebody brings it up on this board?

Posted: 5/30/09 at 11:54pmI guess the extra money is to pay the girl handing out flyers to it in Times Square today.In retrospect, it is cheaper than a TV ad but how much business it brings in is debatable.

Posted: 5/31/09 at 1:54amIt seems like Wednesday is the day to go to movies, theaters and restaurants. They seem so empty then. I guess Thursday is busier because some people like long weekends.
