Has THE ADDAMS FAMILY recouped yet?

Variety reports that the total sales for the 2010-2011 season is $50.1 million. I'm thinking it has already recouped. However, I have yet to read that it already has...

I vaguely remember a recent article talking about current shows that had yet to recoup, and I was surprised to see that this show was one of them. So, I guess the answer to your question is, I don't believe so.

Nathan Lane must have been getting a huge chunk of the gross sales and/or net profit.

We saw it today and were pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed it & do not see why all the hostility to it. Unfortunately Lurch had not much to do. Heidi Beckenstaff's understudy went on(Valerie Fagan) & she was great. She looked familiar & when we looked in her bio in Playbill we saw she was in Forbidden Broadway 25 th Anniversary. She did,among other things, Merman. Rees was better than expected . Oscar was great as Fester. Mrs R said she could not see Lane in the role & thought Rees was great.
Thru TDF we got Orchestra Row P . The orchestra was about 80 % full. I do not see it hanging on much longer. Whether or not Brooke Sheilds helps that much remains to be seen.

80% sounds reasonable, Mr Roxy...how come you don't see it holding on much longer?
Brooke Shields is always landing in Broadway shows...has she proven much of a bump in the past, I wonder.

Mo idea what upstairs looked like btu it should be better than this for a Sunday matinee. Eeven if 10 % upstairs was empty, that would mean only 70% of the house was full. Many seats had to be discounted. They have to be emptier during the week.

True, true. I guess the producers are missing Nathan Lane!
How was Bebe, btw?

According to this article in Variety from May 11, they have earned back 2/3 of their original investment:

This is just a fun show with some great performances. Some of the songs are excellent, and others are just terrible. Overall though I think it is just a fun show... and the set is insane. I love how the various pieces of the house reassemble, and they use that show curtain brilliantly to frame different scenes. I think it should have gotten a nomination for, and even won, the Tony last season for best scenic design.

Isn't Blickenstaff foing that developmental show with the other members of the [tos] cast? I assume she'll be out of this show for a little while.

I think Blickenstaff is only scheduled to be out for about two weeks.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Great. It did not look at all like she was going thru the motions. It looks like she just opened in it.

I wonder how it hasn't recouped when it was playing to some very nice houses that first year with Nathan Lane.

I'm sure Nathan Lane was making a pretty penny, thus altering their profits.
