Amazing Grace
How low the gross!
Who'll save a wretch like that?

My heart goes out to Amazing Grace and On The Town.
"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)

Kelsey Grammer left Finding Neverland for his summer leave last week. It will be interesting to see how well the show maintains its current good grosses without one of its major name stars until September. It could be a good test/preview of its longevity potential.

^ His leaving was not well publicized, and even if it were, I highly doubt it would have much of an impact. Neverland has legs, Kelsey or not.
Yeah, those On the Town numbers are not really improving.

Granted it's still previews, but those Amazing Grace grosses do not look well at all.

Ehh...previews or not, an 18 percent anything...eek. If it doubles, they're at 36 percent of potential. Not looking good.

Great to see after 2 years that Matilda is consistently grossing more than Kinky when it was robbed for Best Musical & Score.

^ Um...it's in a bigger house. Of course it's grossing more. There's more potential.

To be fair, Matilda beat KB both on percentage of tix sold as well as percentage of possible gross.

Matilda's theater is bigger by 36 seats...the potential isn't that much bigger. Besides if you wanna argue about gross fine. Matilda's capacity was 99.7% while Kinky's was 77.3%. And since Matilda's house is "bigger" it still managed to bring in more audience than Kinky when Kinky has a smaller house which should be much easier to fill, right?! I rest my case!

So true. Makes me so happy. I haven't and won't trust Tony voters since.

I am sure both shows Kinky Boots and the King and I are out by 4 seats, which should be reflected in the final gross. I would hazard a guess that Michelle + Mum + 2 daughters wouldn't pay for their tickets.

ZellMorrowsPledge, please don't argue with me when you don't know what you're talking about. Matilda may be doing better now, but they have a much higher weekly running cost and it took them much longer to recoup.
Also, it's not a competition.

Sis you're the one arguing. All I said was I'm happy Matilda is doing better and you tried to tell me "oh ofc its doing better because Matilda has a bigger house" when its bigger by 36 SEATS. You obviously don't know what you're talking about

I did not write this: "oh ofc its doing better" That's you.
The point was you can't compare different sized houses. I'm not arguing with children anymore.

Those are reflected in ticket prices the grosses are correct for both shows. There were butts in the amount of seats specified. A comp ticket would affect the gross and average ticket price, which I'm sure have been taken into account

"Amazing Grace" had the third largest difference in gross. Only "Lion King" and "Aladdin" had a bigger change. Not enough. But if they add that same change each week... In a month they are profitable. Just sayin'

Just to make the MATILDA/KINKY BOOTS argument more interesting- KINKY BOOTS has a gross potential of about $85K more than MATILDA given that the Shubert has hundreds of balcony seats, that of course are generally priced much lower, while the Hirschfeld features only orchestra and mezzanine seats. The actual capacity difference between the two productions is only eight seats per performance.

KB and Matilda are two of my two fav shows so I am happy they are both still doing well two years later... (and staying out of the argument).

How long before Amazing Grace's official opening?

Amazing Grace officially opens Thursday. I'm not sure if it'll last too long beyond that.
