Wow, the price does seem a little outrageous.
With prices like that, what tourists are going to want to see the show if they could see a full-scale Broadway show for that price, like Wanna Be Foster said. On top of it, aren't most of the showings at 11:30 pm? By the time the average tourist gets out of a Broadway show, they'd probably be too tired to even think about spending that much to see the show.
