The Boy from Oz Best Week Ever - House Record at the Imperial

"The new Broadway musical, THE BOY FROM OZ starring Hugh Jackman, who recently won the Tony Award, played it’s highest grossing week ever (8 performances through Sunday, June 20) with a net gross of $982,845.37 setting a house record at the Imperial Theatre."


Now, is this even news anymore?? Of course it's going to set a record since you can't even get into the theater for under $76! When these shows announce "New House Record!" all they are doing is restating Broadways need for greed.

That's not what I was saying. What I was saying is that when a theatre raises it's prices to an extreme measure like the Imperial did, and than reports that it broke all records, that isn't news.

It's like saying that HARRY POTTER 3 is the highest grossing film of all time. Well, when ticket prices are raised to over $10 each, of course it will be. It's not saying how many people saw it, just that the people that did see it are paying a whole lot more than they used to.

I can't wait to see the show on July 3rd!

It's not as if the show has broken even at this point - so, good for them!

"Hugh Jackman (news)'s win led "The Boy From Oz" ($982,845) to its best week ever, its highest position on the Top Ten chart (No. 3) "
