Motown's closing must be getting it a lot of business.

I'm shocked that with that huge number for It's Only a Play that it's listed at TKTS today for 30% off. Usually that never happens.

I don't see Les Mis running for that long either.

With Cinderella's "challenging" grosses, it seems that the new Ella and Madame are under some bit of pressure to help bring in more people. I mean, grosses in the high 30's are dire.

I would have imagined Les Mis to be doing a lot better, given the fact that it's incredibly well known. Even non-theatre folk know it, I would think that it could bring in so much more.
Some people can get a thrill, knitting sweaters and sitting still. That's okay for some people, who don't know they're alive!

ONCE's weekly nut must be around $400K for the producers to want to keep it open for the Fall.
A Chorus Line 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.
