Is it me, or is this a remarkably good week for Broadway in mid-September?

So much ( for now) on how Finding Neverland is on its last legs. I get not liking the show but the gloom and doom on its box office prospects despite the actual numbers ( has not dipped below 800 K in 27 straight weeks) is a bit annoying.

I could be wrong but this might be at least partially due to the fact that it was a three-day weekend for many kids/families (Rosh Hashanah was last Monday and most school districts in the Northeast closed for it)

I thought the same Liza. Its also far enough after the start of the school year where families will begin to take vacations again. A lot of friends (and myself) saw upticks in tourist business this weekend.

Wishful thinking in terms of a show closing has to be one of the most bitter, useless things someone in the theatre community can do.

Posted: 9/21/15 at 4:21pmYeah I think it's normal for it to have a bit of a bump around this time. It will surely drop again soon. :)

You are obviously not from NY because the schools around here just started on or around September 8th. I am always surprised (even though I shouldn't be after all these years) when different areas go back in August...

I noticed lasr week that it was much busier than usual in the theater district. I walk down 8 tb ad the other night it was so packed as shows were letting out I actually cut through times square to 6th and down. It was wall to wall.
Just give the world Love.

And no, most schools in the northeast do not have the Jewish holidays off. I have lived my entire life in the NE and between teaching and being a student, I've never been given the holidays off.

I live and work in New York actually. At a theatre in midtown. And I have seen an increase in tourist traffic this week. That was my only point.

New York City and Long Island public schools have off for all Jewish holidays, which often bumps up grosses in September.

Didn't this also coincide with the second week of 2 for 1 tickets?

I'd think that a lot of the traffic this time of year also corresponds to the convention/conference calendar. After Labor Day weekend and a week thereafter, things are in full swing, (although not the full-tilt summer tourist madness). Rosh Hashanah may have something to do with it, as I suspect will Yom Kippur may cause a slight dip in next week's numbers - if I'm correct in the calendar. (I recall that the only reason I was able to get supposedly-unavailable RENT tickets the first season twenty years ago was because it was Yom Kippur).

We were there Tuesday to Sunday and I was surprised how crowded it was...everywhere, considering it's late September, but with the beautiful weather maybe everyone decided they needed to be in NYC! We saw 4 shows and they were ALL packed.

It couldn't have been a school holiday or a family thing because Matilda's revenue would have been up. They seem to do well only when the kids are out and then slump into the barely breaking even territory on weeks like this.

I figured maybe the crowds from Fashion Week also spilled over into the theaters? Any ideas as to how the Pope/United Nations/Obama visit will affect grosses? I could see people avoiding Manhattan but I could also see such a huge influx of visitors for those events that enough people will want to tack on a Broadway show to their Papal mass/United Nations business.
