Jerry Springer - hit or flop

Is Jerry Springer : The Opera a hit or a flop in London?

"Hit, Hit" you all scream.

Well yes, you can't beg, borrow, or steal a ticket to the sold-out performances of the show at the National.

Then tickets went on sale for the transfer.

The most tightly guarded secret in the British theater world at the moment is the advance box office takings for the transfer.

Well, I'm taking a little gander at the box office manifests...and well, my lips are sealed but I simply ask again : "hit or FLOP?"

Yes, you are right...a dump.

The wrong venue for what is supposed to be a major hit.

Everyone is wondering why such a poor choice was made.

Saturday night sales-only aren't the best of indicators - but it might be an interesting test as you suggest.

I am more interested in the actual advance ticket sales for the entire transfer run to date.

The b.o. takings to date I am looking at are...well, shocking.
