Gigi only filling 60% of their seats is not good.

Poor Visit. I hope the reviews (and hopefully, the Tony nominations) help its grosses.


A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

"OUCH Living On Love..."


If it doesn't get any Tony nominations, it's dead.  Dismal box office, rotten reviews - that just might be Tony's first casualty.


What else do you think will post notices after the nominations?  I think DOCTOR ZHIVAGO.  And look out for these in the nominations:


ON THE TOWN


THE VISIT


AIRLINE HIGHWAY


GIGI


HAND TO GOD


IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU


If those titles don't get Tony traction, they'll drop. 


 


Since MAMMA MIA announced its closing notice, do you think JERSEY BOYS and/or CHICAGO will announce soon?

I'm almost positive Zhivago will post a closing notice for May 10th. I'd be shocked if it lasted longer than that.

Airline Highway is at a non-profit right? So their grosses are different than most shows, and its very doubtful they'd close early.

Yup, MTC. They won't close early.

Congrats to Hand to God for its countinued slow and steady upward trajectory into profit! 


Also it is great to see Fun Home doing solid business.


In my opinion though it is a bit concerning that Finding Neverland only sold at 75% of maximum potential considering Weinstein is going to pull the discounts. I did not love the production, but I don't want Finding Neverland to turn into what happened to the 2011 Follies revival, where producers foolishly pulled discounts after the show opened to 2 weeks of sell out bussiness, not realizing people were seeing the show partly because of the affordability.

The Visit should be fine until the Tonys, especially if Chita wins. I fully expect them to really pump up this being Chita's final Broadway outing during the campaign weeks.

those are some terrible numbers for THE VISIT. OUCH!!! AN AMERICAN IN PARIS continues to surprise me with their grosses. 


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.

I imagine that even a nod for Renee Fleming- Living on Love's only viable nomination- wouldn't help it. The attendance, the average ticket price, the gross- it's sunk. I'd imagine a closing will be announced today or tomorrow.

^give you faith in the artistic integrity of the good old fashioned Broadway musical, doesn't it? Watching it climb over Finding Neverland to become the top grossing new musical makes me so thrilled. 


In all seriousness though, with it doing so well commercially, could it actually pose a threat to "Fun Home" for Best Musical?

THE VISIT, AIRLINE HIGHWAY, and LIVING ON LOVE all opened last week, so while their numbers are not great at all, they are also artificially depressed due to the opening night performance.

I don't know where this rumor comes from, but 'The Visit' is NOT Chita Rivera's final show. She told the Times that she had no plans to retire.

Weird to me FH isn't selling out, hope I can still get more seats or a second viewing when I'm there.

No! I need it to last at least one more week. I'm all booked up. Well, maybe I could squeeze it in on Wednesday but I'd rather not.

Didn't they also said that Curtains was Kander and Ebb's last show?

I would have bet a ton of money FH would be selling out and the hottest ticket in town.

Industry friend-agent told me to expect Living on Love and Dr. Z to close by May 10


followed by Gigi and It Shoulda Been You.


The Visit will hang on till the Tony awards and all depends on if she wins then probably close some point in June.

If I recall, she remained coy about this being her last show in that article. She will continue to do her cabaret act. But I've been specifically told by those who know her that this IS her last Broadway outing. And if that's true, I fully expect them to promote that during the important campaign weeks.

Robbie, we can all figure that out based on the numbers. Doesn't take an industry person.

Don't I know it Neonlights, the music is so beautiful, the story incredible.  It's everything you want to me.  Must confess, I seem to be a sucker for musicals with sadness. Everything about this sounds magical.  I've listened to the tape over 50 times, this is musical story telling at its finest to me.  I'm 1/20th the experts you guys are, but if it makes you laugh, cry, think...
