Click below to access all the grosses from all the shows for the week ending 5/24/2015 in BroadwayWorld.com's grosses section.
Also, you will find information on each show's historical grosses, cumulative grosses and other statistics on how each show stacked up this week and in the past.
so it looks like strong odds that THE VISIT is gone right after the Tony Awards. Even if Chita comes away with the Tony herself. Those numbers are sad.
Glad to see ON THE TOWN continuing to improve.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
Not to burst your excited bubbles for On the Town, but their nut is 650k, or 675k as quoted here http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/21/theater/on-the-town-producers-keep-faith-in-their-investment.html?_r=0
Did phantom really break a million. How long has it been since they've last done that?
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

Im happy that they reached 102%, but anyone know why Something Rotten's gross potential is so low? I'd expect it to be higher since the show is playing at the St James...
Something Rotten has posted the same potential gross ($1,036,040) for the last several weeks. They are selling fewer seats than American Idiot did (13,336 potential per week vs. 13,672), so I assume a portion of the balcony is still closed off. In addition they may also have a greater variance in their pricing breakdown (i.e. more seats priced at a lower price, which is why you'll notice Matilda has a lower gross potential than Kinky Boots, even though they have a slightly higher capacity).
"This certainly bodes well for "Finding Neverland" that it's still grossing a million/week with the start of the summer season. I would imagine it needs to run at least another 6 months to end up recouping its costs. "
At least six months, but I would say a safer bet is that you wouldn't see a recoupment announcement until at least next year, provided they are able to maintain these kinds of sales (which I would venture to say they will be able to maintain at least through the summer).
"Did phantom really break a million. How long has it been since they've last done that?"
Not sure why anyone who reads the grosses would be surprised at Phantom breaking a million. This is the 4th time already this year and they did it 15 times last year.
OTTC played .2% under capacity.That's only 9 (NINE) seats less than last week when they played at 100.3%. Roundabout doesn't have a standing room policy (They appear to be able to add a few portable chairs in the back when needed, for example for Kristin's parents when they were in town around ON).
I don't see an issue in 9 empty seats over a full week, especially when you take into consideration that subscribers can return and exchange tickets any time they want.
I'm praying The Visit hangs on until at least a week after the Tonys. I won't have a chance to see it until then, and it breaks my heart that the talent behind this piece aren't finding success with it.
SR is selling the entire balcony. I believe the first 2 rows in the orchestra were removed for the stage. There are 42 seats missing from each performance compared to the numbers of AI, so I believe that is where the numbers are off.
I think The Visit will be around for a couple weeks after the Tony's. I think it's likely they will post closing either the day after the awards or one week later.

Wishful thinking on their parts; some people like to pretend that the show is doing worse than it actually is.

"Still surprises me that with Kristin C the publicity, adoration, awards etc that OTTC is not sold out/standing room every night."
Also, Roundabout just has very strange ticketing policies, even for a subscriber-based non-profit producer. Even if a show has been sold out or nearly sold out except for a few of the worst seats (although "bad" AAA seats would be some of the best seats in other theaters), a day or two before a show date they dump about thirty or forty seats, including some of the best seats, back on the market at face value. Probably some of the full price tickets are never sold on such short notice.
Alert theatergoers who can afford full price can snatch some good seats by waiting until the last moment.
