NEW SITE FEATURE: Weekly Grosses (Updated 6/17....

Posted: 6/15/05 at 4:32pm

Big thanks to Cary Shapiro for some programming help on this one. We've added Weekly Grosses to the site @
https://www.broadwayworld.com/grosses.cfm

on which you can click each column to sort by it and to change the graphs at the bottom, drill down to each show by year, click on a theater to see other shows there, and all sorts of other fun data from the Theater League.

It's officially still in beta at the moment with a few-wee kinks probably remaining given the sheer volume of the data. PM me with any major problems you notice.

Rob

ps - On a smaller note, click on people's icons on the board now open the larger version of the pics if there is one.

That is a fabulous feature, love the bar charts! I predict my productivity at work will continue to plummet if I can now look up the attendance figures for all the shows I neglected to see in the 80s...

Edited to report one glitch...when I try to look at the data for the Sweet Charity revival at the Minskoff in '86-87, I'm linked to the figures for the current revival...

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Glad you like! There's now options to view grosses by show, and by theater for the archived stuff on top of the grosses main page. There's a few more features / bells & whistles coming in the next few days as well.

Enjoy!
