What Show Is Next On The Chopping Block — Page 2

LOL Hogan wtf?

I never said any of that was hilarious. All i said was that the biz is unpredictable. You are crazy and have had a bone to pick with me since day one. Please stop!

Also I have never based my analysis on what I hoped would happen. I thought the producers wanted to keep the show open til nominations which is why i kept telling you guys that that was going to happen.Thank god youre not a producer because you would close your shows down if they lost money the first week.

no he went into aaaaaallllll of this stuff that i wasnt even referring to

Not sure if this has ever been done, but would producers consider moving OTT to a smaller, more intimate venue?

Pinto,

At 516pm you said: "thats hilarious."

At 545pm you said: "I never said any of that was hilarious. All i said was that the biz is unpredictable."

That might set a record for your forgetfulness on here.

You also say "You are crazy and have had a bone to pick with me since day one." Whether anyone here is crazy or not (or a producer or not) is not something you are in a position to say. I have no bone to pick with you. I like you (not like that) and I like your seeming enthusiasm. All I have done is try to help you channel your energy in a meaningful way. You say you want to be a part of this community; to that end there are some lessons you need to learn (as I have detailed before. At one point earlier I asked if you were being serious or just pulling everyone's leg here. I've given you the benefit of the doubt-something most here have not. You can make a positive contribution to this place, and perhaps to the theatre, but not by coming off as the butt of everyone's joke, or as a kid who refuses to get it. I can tell you from experience that someone who refuses to listen and learn never gets very far in this business. I have higher aspirations for you, and I hope you do for yourself.

Show business is a business, not a fairy tale. That's lesson # 8 (or is it 9?).

On the Town reportedly built in a fairly sizable reserve into their budget when they did their initial financing, knowing that it would probably be a tough sell during the leaner, less tourist populated months. They have seen some minor increases in their grosses as we move into the spring and (theoretically) warmer months, and they also showed that during the traditional busy weeks they can indeed draw a decent crowd (they had a million-plus week during the holidays, something a certain other show never managed to come anywhere close to achieving). It isn't the most illogical thing for them to try to brave it out and see what happens awards season does to their sales (assuming that built-in reserve rumor is true). While it's unlikely that they could actually recoup, they might be able to pull decent enough numbers to run through the summer and close just a little less in the red than they would be if they closed now.

"That certain other show did really well during Valentines day week i think"

Yes, it only lost $275,000 that week.

Holy Crap, this Phillypinto loser is completely unhinged.

Wasnt there a week when Honeymoon made 600,000? Idk i never really looked at the numbers, i just knew they were bad and thought the producers were gonna hold off til nominations which i think they did try to.

Liza, clearly therapy is not working. Maybe try meditating.

I'd also like to add that On the Town was open with raves already during the holidays.

Shows will wait till after Tony nominations are announced and most will wait out and see if they win any and if it helps the box office so I believe we'll see a couple close during June with those possibly being: Musicals

On The Town

***As for The Visit it only started previews (5) this week @79% not bad but highly doubt this show will last past summer.

well did YOU take the producers plan into account when saying that the show should have closed in February?

Roxy and Phillypinto.....never have I been so grateful for the ignore function in my life.

Wish EVERYONE would take this approach with Philly "bisexuals are not real" Pinto. Too bad.
