Mel Brooks is a very well known name, but that name mostly resonates with baby boomers and older. He is an old school comic genius whose comedy has influenced many throughout the years. Seven years ago he was a genius on Broadway, now a new generation views him differently. He brought a breath of fresh air to Broadway in 2001, that I believe is indisputable. He has not changed that much over the years, but the way he is perceived has certainly changed. However you feel about it, you have to respect his talent and his generation of brillant comedy.

The only review of a show that matters is your own.

"People aren't born with knowledge, they have to work for it. "

Like spelling and grammar?

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Considering the producers aren't releasing grosses, would the people working in the box office know that information? Or is that how Variety is estimating, by going to the lotto guy at McDonalds?

Wed-Sunday makes more sense. To give the performers some sort of "weekend."

I would say that they know when the show sells out, just cause they would have to know when to stop selling the tickets. Other than that though, I think most of the people involved in the show (ushers, boxoffice people) are only guessing based on how many people walk through doors every night.

Although, this whole post was just my gut feeling, it sort of does make sense.
