Cinderella is still only making 46% of its potential, so not that much better.
Eta: If/Then cancelled last Tues' performance for the MLB game, which explains the drop. They added one Sunday night but I'm sure it didn't make up the loss.
Newsies closing confuses me, it's grosses are still good and no shows been announced to replace it. Could this pull a 'extended due to popular demand' ?
Good week for almost everyone. Glad to see Pippin's grosses increasing, but I'm seriously worried that IF/THEN won't recoup by the time Idina leaves the show, which is when it will close.

It was announced (I forget where) that Menzel extended her contract until next April, so she'll be with it a full year. If grosses remain steady through Summer with a solid Holiday season I think they'll have a good chance of recouping.
It was already noted, but If/Then cancelled a performance this week which definitely affected the grosses (they did schedule a replacement Sunday night perf but doubtful that made up the loss). Idina's contract is through March so as long as grosses hold somewhat steady--which, why wouldn't they?-- it has a very good chance of recouping.
I still wonder what ONCE's weekly nut is. They've been grossing $500-$400 all summer and it doesn't appear they'll be closing before the Fall starts. I hope they have a decent advance for the Fall.
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.
Haterobics, I'm just worried because I don't think it is ever good when investors lose their money, especially when championing original work, no matter what your thoughts on the piece are.

Isn't that an incredibly simplistic way of looking at the business of Broadway? If investors bring us a complete piece of crap and make money anyway, what do you think we will continue to get? Root for people who bring us great things. People who bring us mediocrity can lose their money and learn from the experience. Would you worry about whether the investors in a restaurant with lousy service, terrible food and sky high prices lose money even if the type of cuisine was somewhat original?
I'm a fan of If/Then (see avatar), but I guess I just hope they make their money back... worry just seems a step too far down a path over which I have zero control.
What about ROCKY? I know someone who invested heavily in this show. Will it ever recoup? And how does it work, exactly? If a show doesn't recoup by the time it closes, do the investors lose everything they've invested, or do they recoup a percentage? Can someone with some knowledge of how this works please clue me in? Thanks!
"You just said you know someone who is invested in the show. Ask them."
Look smart ass, if I was a position to ask them, I would. I'm asking here. And regardless of whether or not I know someone who invested, I'd still like to know how it works. So, if you don't know or want to answer the question, then kindly have the common courtesy to keep your snide and useless comments to yourself.
