Before anyone cries about the failure of Hamilton, they invited lots of press last week. Considering they made what they made WITH lots of free press tickets, they're doing amazing.

Aladdin had 9 performances last week versus Wicked's 8.

Just imagine how many poor families could be fed with the money that Amazing Grace is throwing away...

I'm sad about Hedwig because I want it to run forever with different Hedwigs.
How much more time does Jersey Boys have left? Will it still be around after New Year's?
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

I'll hand it to the producers of Amazing Grace for riding it out, but ouch. I know there's some deep pockets associated with that show, but how deep?
Wouldn't the Christian thing to do be to close it and release rights so the gospel can be spread far and wide?

It may be hard to imagine those families because they would be blocked by the ten-times-as-many families that On the Town could have fed with the money it has wasted.

Book of Mormon is making way more money than Hamilton and it has hundred of seats less than the Rodgers. Goes to show that people would rather see musical comedy than a musical about the founding fathers even if it is wildly entertaining and moving

Well, at least Hedwig didn't go down even more but went up a tiny bit. That's something, I guess.

I mean, Darren hovered around 400k and the show moved on to someone else.

Since you bring up Darren now, Darren has brought in almost $100,000 more in his first 3 weeks than Taye has. And Darren's numbers were stable above $450k from then on except that odd week.
We'll see what happens with Taye's gross over the next few weeks. At least the average ticket price is going up so far.
I don't doubt that there will be another Hedwig but it's sad to see the show below 400k once again.

Well, this is a bad week to judge by because of the press and opening night for Hamilton. If you look at last week, they are more comparable with Hamilton having made slightly more than BOM

Posted: 8/10/15 at 3:51pmPhilly is talking nonsense as usual. Hamilton's potential is $1,334,960 and Mormon's is $1,548,738. Of course they can both make more than their potential, but to compare them is silly.

Pinto, you are capable of a more rigorous analysis than that betrayed by the above.
Re Hand to God, it does seem they are on a skid from which they may not be able to recover.
Re Hedwig, we are witnessing a very significant miscalculation. I think it is becoming increasingly clear that NPH is going to return, and that will lead to ever more business than the last time, now that he has a free weekly infomercial.
