This looks so dreadfully average, cheap, and boring."



Literally looks like something you'd see at a charity event without any kind of rehearsal. Truly feel bad for anyone that paid for a ticket to this.

And that’s in addition to the comps they are giving out for tonight’s show that remain unclaimed. Seriously, they should just close this already.

"Home for the Holidays is unlikely to remind you much of home, unless you were raised in a department-store elevator. "

Okay, this is now officially my favourite review quote of all time.

holy **** the numbers for this are INSANE! 8 performances the gross last week was $48,000 O.O average ticket price is $13 thats INSANE!!!!!!

"My question is how much did they pay Andrew Rannells and Todrick Hall to show up to the opening?"

Like Sylvia Miles, these two lower-mid-tier "celebrities" would show up to the opening of an envelope, if they had the slightest suspicion a camera would be present.

and now we anxiously await how low their grosses will be? +/- from last week's grosses? Can their grosses go any lower?

Based on the fact they had a $13 average ticket price during Thanksgiving week(typically a busy weekend), I'd guess and say that out of the 3,500 that saw the show, about 2,500 had comps.Comps tend to go to larger businesses, sponsors, friends of the cast & crew. But it seems like this show is giving them out to anyone who wants them just to get some butts in the seats. Averaging just under 450 people per show can't look good, but imagine if it was only 150 per show without comps.

I saw this through comps and don't get the absolute hatred for this show, yes it is super cheesy and not something I think ever needed to be on Broadway but it was also 80 minutes of christmas songs that I (and most people) enjoy so it didn't send me running for the hills. Candice Glover was great and it was just the right length of time so it didn't feel endless. I wish there was a song list or some insert in the Playbill because I didn't recognize one or two of the songs, it could be they ran out of space since everyone's bio was two pages long. I would rather see this another ten times than the Parisian Woman or The Children ever again.

Pricing is a whole separate issue, I agree that the ticket prices for this show are ridiculous- Who's Holiday (loved that show) has insane prices also.
