I was wondering what causes such jumps in attendence from one week to the next. It seems that last week (April 4-10) week ticket sales dropped dramatically for alot of shows. I know there are no specific answers, but I just find it extremely odd.

All Shook Up: down 17%
Brooklyn: down 25.8%
Fiddler: down 22%
Good Vibrations: down 23.5%
Little Women: down 29.7%
Movin' Out: down 18%
Rent: down 19%

The previous week was Spring Break for a lot of schools, meaning an influx of tourists.

Broadway came off of Easter week and school break time, so there's a natural fall off from the highpoint of those weeks. Then, for some reason, the week of Daylight Savings Time always causes a drop. I don't know if people just lose their minds with setting their clocks and watches an hour forward, but every year, the DST week always ends up with a lot of shows doing poorly.

Wow thats really interesting about DST.

Spring break was the last thing on my mind being that I had mine the first week of March which seems like ages ago.
