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.

I can't imagine that Thursday performances are more in demand than Friday-Sunday performances, which are cheaper.

Maybe Thursday nights is when the cast offers lap dances?

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?

I 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.

It 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.
