How long do you think Rosie will take the losses? Reports said it needed $400,000 each week to break even. Last week was $320,872.

Keep in mind opening week has an unusually high amount of comps and passes.

Yes but last week was press week and the opening, so there was a lot of papering going on. (Not that this week will necessarily be any better, but I don't think using last week's gross is necessarily a good yardstick.)

Believe it will limp along for the holidays. It will be up a creek without a paddle when the slow months of Jan/Feb/March hit. How much will Rosie pump into it before throwing in the towel ?

I've said it before: if she turns seats over to TKTS, she will fill the theater and start to make her nut. But the reviews are out, and she has to get over the idea that the show is "an event..." It's now just one more b'way show struggling to hang on. If she wants to reach a younger audience who can't afford the hundred bucks, start discounting the show for EVERYONE. The younger folk will be among us. TABOO could v. well find its audience, and even survive the winter. But it's not AIDA, and for the mass market, Boy George isn't Elton.

Is Rosie' ego so big she would not let seats go to TKTS or to mail offerings ?If she wants her show to have any hope of survival, she had better utilize both. If she truly thinks the audience for the show will shell out $ 100 a ticket she is out of her mind
