"Could The Book of Mormon only be at 91.2% capacity during the busiest week of the year? That must be a typo."
Possibly, especially with the different number noted above; if so, it'll probably be corrected right away. If not, another possible explanation could be that they overestimated how many premium seats they'd sell during the holiday period.
Book of Mormon sold the same number of seats as the previous week (8,752), so it's weird that the capacity went down. Unless they performed a 9th performance to a completely empty theatre.
Its a typo. Book of Mormon only played 8 performances last week while its capacity is accounting for 9 performances. Great week all around for the most part. Shout out to Annie, which will likely be sold out again this week, and will be going out on top! Also as well have all already commented Cinderella is definitely a tourist show, the issue is filling the seats in the slow months, which is likely why they are bringing in Ms Jepsen and Fran Drescher in hopes of being able to at least break even so that the their summer and holiday grosses go straight into the bank rather than being held to cover the costs of slow weeks. Final shout out to Gentleman's Guide!!! I hope it is able to maintain its grosses from the past few weeks (obviously not this week's inflated christmas grosses) becuase at the current rate its going it looks like it will be able to stick around through the Tony's!
Wow, I have't seen so many $1 million plus shows in quite a while. Now, the struggling months of January and February await many shows.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
Wow, people really went to see Broadway shows this past week! That's exciting to see. Even more artistic enterprises like NO MAN'S LAND/WAITING FOR GODOT did great. Kudos to everyone, especially struggling shows that had run out of steam like CINDERELLA and ANNIE. Also, I can't believe KINKY BOOTS is making so much money, and whoa WICKED.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
Yes, because God forbid anyone sees a show that they enjoy rather than what people on these boards approve. I'm personally happy that A LOT of shows enjoyed superb grosses this week.
"Life in theater is give and take...but you need to be ready to give more then you take..."
Agree i am happy with shows like Pippin, Mamma mia, Matilda making a lot of money, but shows like Wicked, lion king, and Phantom don't deserve that much money
Looking at those 'average' ticket prices is mind blowing, however. Wowza!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
