 I want to see how Daddy Long Legs is doing because it's so adorable. I want to come back and see it again.

I saw Daddy Long Legs recently and almost all seats were filled! I love the show so much, I've seen it twice. You should definitely go again!

I was so surprised to find out the actors are married irl. They were so cute. Yesterday, the last few rows were empty but maybe because of Easter? I just want to know how it's doing so it doesn't close on me! It's such a pleasant surprise!

Its running costs are probably pretty low, so I bet you won't need to worry. I'm glad you had a good time!

the only thing i found: https://www.theproducersperspective.com/my_weblog/2009/06/offbroadway-reports.html

 

and then when checking the off-broadway theater alliance, there is no way to actually access the numbers... but no, i do not believe they release anything weekly -- or even monthly for that matter

I think word of mouth has really caught on now. A friend of mine is obsessed and saw it almost once a week for while (student rush made it affordable), and from what she said it's only been 50-60% filled in the fall, but it seems to be much fuller now. It certainly every time I saw it.

Like Lizzy said, it has low running costs because it's only 2 actors & 3 musicians and it's in Ken Davenport's own theater so they don't have to worry about rent for the theater so much.

I hope it'll keep running, and will get at least nominated for a few Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk Awards, that would put it on the map more, too!

 

As for off-Broadway grosses, I've never seen any anywhere. My guess would be because so much of it is non-profit...

It was so good. I had low expectations but I was wrong. It's just so lovely, I left feeling so happy.

If it's true, that's really wonderful to hear. Should the actors ever want to move on this is the kind of off-Broadway show that could run for years if the audience was there.

Paul Nolan, who originated Jervis on Off-Bway, told me to go see it again with Adam Halpin, and I told him I would so now I have to, right? Do off Broadway shows post grosses? They just recently passed their 200th show.

I really don't want this show to close ever and Megan McGinnis is a treasure. I've been trying to steer friends and strangers their way LOL.

Very misleading thread title. Apparently this is all about Daddy Long Legs.
