HONEYMOON IN VEGAS struggling on Broadway — Page 20

"Some further insight I didn't really need into the type of person Philly is."

you do know that this is a message board right? and none of us are actually friends? and we will probably never meet in our entire lives?

No, not exactly.

Phillypinto, OMG you are still rambling on about Honeymoon?
From 1:54am Thursday till now 11:32PM???
I hope you invest as much time in your acting and studying?
It seems that you are glued to this board especially being obsessed with Honeymoon in Vegas and may I ask why?
Simply curious as to your relentless ongoings with this thread and others everyday!
And yes you have a right to do anything you damn please but come on now!

And he still hasn't seen it.

Not only does Philly know Honeymoon will be nominated for Best Musical. He's going to accept the Tony and give the speech.

This is embarrassing for my age group. Sigh.

elfuhbuh, seriously shut the **** up. You are all little ass followers who can't handle it when someone comes on here and rocks the boat every now and again. You should be happy I'm not afraid to speak my mind, and i will never apologize for my thoughts and/or opinions.

And no, i do not think i am always right. As far as this show goes though, well, have you seen a closing notice?

Good night all...GO TO BED Philly

I have been watching this thread ever since it was created as I am also a big fan of the show. Having seen it once at Papermill, once and previews and again on Opening Night (and will likely return for the closing). From the beginning, I thought this show was going to be a huge success. Is it fluff? Yes. But, isn't that what musical comedy is all about - a few hours to escape the winter doldrums, realities of what's wrong in this world, and just laugh and enjoy a so-so story being told through some fantastic music - performed by (likely) Broadway's best orchestra currently? I think this is a classic Broadway show for which many have been clamoring - and I am saddened that it is not doing well. The fact is, there is so much competition these days for everyone's theatre dollars. If people had no idea what the film was or disliked it (I, myself, thought it was not very good), then they simply will not care to spend their money on this. What I have to say, however, is that the creative team really took a blah film and turned it into a very enjoyable musical - a very rare occurrence. I hope Philly is correct - not so that he can gloat, but rather because I think that this show deserves to run. Either way, whether it closes soon or wins a bunch of Tonys and stays open, people need to be kinder to each other by simply stating their opinions and enjoying other peoples' viewpoints on the subject.

He probably just knows who they are from like playbillvault.com but I'm sure the producers don't know him. So I wouldn't be shocked if he says he knows the Weissler's too!

Ethan he literally said "no i know all the producers and they told me. You should all listen to what I'm saying"

This statement was made: " It is literally the same exact thing that is happening over at On The Town."

I went to the Broadway League and looked at the historical grosses/attendance.

On the Town:
23 weeks
$15,511,815.
Avg weekly $674,426
Attendance 212,436
Avg Attendance 9,236

Honeymoon in Vegas
14 weeks
$5,476,914
Avg weekly $391,208
Attendance 87,910
Avg Attendance 6,279

I realize that On The Town is in a much bigger theater, but the consensus is that the weekly nut was about the same for both. If that nut is around $500-600K, On The Town is not "bleeding", not in the range to pay back investors, but not costing investors more.

I don't see how they are exactly the same.
