I think that's a bit too high. I'd say 841. Card Sharks, anyone?!

Past tennants of this same theatre, such as "Sweet Charity", only made over 600.000 twice during its entire run, and it still ran for nearly a year.

Well, Sweet Charity sucked. It didn't deserve to even make that much.

I hope that Wedding Singer stays around long enough for me to see it when I go to NYC at least!

I think 2 years for the Wedding Singer is about right. The parade of American Idol contestants taking over this show is just around the corner. . I'd bet there's already an offer out to Katharine McPhee.

Get her into THE WEDDING SINGER or SPAMALOT for that matter.

Wow. I never thought about Katharine McPhee doing Spamalot. She'd be a lovely Lady of the Lake.

I hope it lasts for quite a while. If Charity can last as long as it did, Singer can at least that long. AT LEAST.

I want to it be on long enough for me to see my dream cast of Cara as Holly and Tina as Julia. That might take a while!

it's a "soft" show
Sept will be hard for it.
and the wolves will gather for The Hirshfeld.
are you counting Previews Little?

Broadway_show_fan, today's matinee, Cara and Tina were both on! I saw it today for the first time. I thought Cara gave a good performance, though I was disappointed not to see Amy. Tina was a great actress, but a subpar singer. Overall I thought the show was very entertaining, though certainly not perfect. I give about till February.

i dont know if they're counting previews or not, stephen lynch announced it after tonights show... possibly.

i think sept will be rough and we might see a closing sept./oct.
it has a great young teen following right now, but once school starts up that audience will not be as available.
also... future sales aren't so amazing, but they're doing great day-of.
we shall see soon enough

Enough time for it to close and another show to open in that same theater and still be Tony eligible.

I applaud Stephen's performance and attendance in this show.

Maybe they're sick? It's the summer, a lot of allergies and whatnot.

You guys are not making this sound very good.

I just got the thumbs up that i'll be able to go back to NYC for spring break next year.

Stop with the negativity, guys. Let's cheer up. :)

I'm crossing fingers for a nice, lengthy run.
