Posted: 10/3/10 at 9:22pmThe grosses for it are great, not to mention the MAJOR increase in sales due to Billie Joe's performances. I have a feeling it's going to last at least a year, maybe a little longer.

An increase in ONE week's grosses don't mean a heck of a lot.
Overall, it's grosses have been OK, but nothing great. What we don't know is what their advance looks like. Most rumors have pointed to disasterous.
A January closing wouldn't be a big shock. But only time will tell.

People marvel that N2N has been holding on as long as it has. I haven't seen talk about about ROA except that no one thought it would make a go of it when it opened on Bway...and it obviously made a great go of it.
And until more shows OPEN....what else is there to talk about?

Gab away.

Posted: 10/4/10 at 2:12amThe last three weeks the show has been grossing well below break-even. If it sinks much lower it may dip below the theatre's stop clause and the St. James can evict it and go looking for a new tenant.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
