Posted: 9/26/13 at 2:56pmIt has been on once or twice before, I believe. It's a Thursday in the Fall. Not that surprised.

Posted: 9/26/13 at 3:01pmIt's been on quite a bit lately, since the beginning of the month. Way more than once or twice.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 9/26/13 at 3:10pmIt's been on frequently this month and doesn't sell all that well at the booth. This according to the non stop blabbing queen in front of us.

Posted: 9/26/13 at 5:15pmThis is now the 3rd week the show has been on the boards. I went the first night it was on, a Tuesday, and got an amazing $85 orchestra seat. My question is, does the show loose less money by doing TKTS then they would offering discount codes?

No. It doesn't loose money. But it is definitely a sign of dwindling advances. Not the hit some were making it out to be.
Oh crap I just re read your question. I don't know.

"when the two leads left the show, the dwindling started."
Cassandra2 is correct, this has nothing to do with the leads. No outside of the theater community knows who the originals are. It is a slower season because people are back to school.
You see the correlation because the leads left around the time this started happening.

Posted: 9/26/13 at 8:59pmCan't say I'm shocked. Now, I'm not one to have this think that it's the beginning of the end for this show, far from it actually. However, I think that there was a huge advance prior to its opening all the way to the Tonys until now when it's starting to dwindle. Keep in mind that a majority, if not all of that time was during tourist season. I predict that sales will start to pick back up a bit when it's around the holidays. That means kids are off from school, and families are spending holiday time in the city.

Posted: 9/27/13 at 8:58pmToday nearly every show was listed on TKTS. The exceptions being; Mormon, The Lion King, Wicked, Kinky Boots, and in a bizarre twist... Motown
