Looking at the recent weeks grosses, most plays are down percentage wise but are still going steady gross-wise. Any ideas as to why?

It's February.

Tourism is down in February so Broadway attendance is down as well (as are the grosses). It's like this every year and most shows are doing just fine for winter.

is it only the month of february that is slow? or does it include march?

id say it depends on the type of march it is. ny has had March bring spring or more snow storms.

January and February are traditionally slow, but business typically rebounds sometime in March as the weather improves and the tourists return.

Because I wasn't in New York this week.

Stuck up here in Connecticut.

Next time I'm in NYC, just watch. My friend Tyler and I will make every show's ticket sales increase by, at least, 45%.

Well I'm taking a large group of cast mates to Good Vibrations on our day off next week, I'm looking forward to seeing what changes have been made!
