I have noticed musicals in New York at the moment, do not have much discount, such as the usual, Wicked and Jersey Boys, but now also Billy Elliot, South Pacific, Hair and West Side Story, do not have discount. At Christmas we were talking about the dire situation because of closures with Broadway musicals theatres.
This time last year I counted 26 musicals playing, only Wicked and Jersey Boyswere doing full price,everything had discounts.
The shows playing April 2008
A Catered Affair, A Chorus Line, Avenue Q, Chicago, Cry Baby, Curtains, Grease, Gypsy, Hairspray, In the Heights, Legally Blonde, Jersey Boys, Mama Mia, Mary Poppins, Passing Strange, Rent, South Pacific, Sunday in the Park with George, Spamalot, Spring Awakening, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Young Frankenstein, Xanadu.
Compared with 19 today;
9-5, Avenue Q, Billy Elliot, Chicago, Guys and Dolls, Hair, In the Heights, Jersey Boys, Mama Mia, Mary Poppins, Next to Normal,Rock of Ages, Shrek, South Pacific, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, The Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story, Wicked.
A near 25% drop in musical theatre, as the choice is more limited now, as not so many musicals playing. do you think because of the lack of musicals, these are getting punters to fill up the other shows, which are giving full capacity, so therefore limited discount available.
