How long do you guys think High, Baby it's you, & Wonderland will last?
Im asking because I have so many shows I want to see and am wondering if I could possibly hold off on seeing these till after the Tonys.
Do we think they'll make it till then? I've heard High hasn't been very full and the word of mouth on wonderland and Baby its you isn't very good

BIY had ONE preview.
Sheesh.

I think Wonderland and BIY will make it through the summer and close around Labor Day.

Posted: 3/27/11 at 2:55pmUsually I hate these doomsaying threads, but if you want to catch BiY, I'd suggest planning your trip a bit sooner than that?

Posted: 3/27/11 at 3:01pmI suggest you consult the Broadway grosses which are updated weekly on this site. Pay attention to the percentage column and how the show is trending. This will give you a more precise idea of what to expect rather than the guesstimates of BWW posters.

Posted: 3/28/11 at 3:35pmit's always difficult to predict the success of a show, but i loved tommyboy's suggestion of checking the grosses. also, take a look at the advance. the higher the advance, the more pre-sale tickets have been sold, so they tend to have a more secure spot on the boards. i do suggest seeing the shows that are unlikely to win awards before awards season, they tend to be gone right after the tonys.

wonderland will crash and burn if it dosnt pick up after it opens 500,000 in a 1.4mil potential house... yikes. also high is an issue 58k in a 200k house but is playing to 60%
and i think it might be alittle early to predict BIY but based on what im hearing it could be gone in months...

Based on those numbers (an average ticket price of 21 dollars!) I would think HIGH might only last a few weeks. But the producers of LOOPED spent a lot keeping it open (but I have a hunch some of Valerie Harper's own money was behind that decision).
WONDERLAND has no advance or reserve. It could close quickly too.
BABY ITS YOU will probably eek through the summer.
