I heard Lupita was sick this week...how many shows did she miss?

Oh my gaw, Disaster. Thats discouraging

Is American Psycho doing well? I know not every show gets close to its potential gross but why is only making about half? 

Did something happen at The King and I? Did they miss performances?

I wish that Disaster and Bright Star were doing better.

King and I had Analisa Leaming & Jose Llana in the leads this week. Didn't miss any shows.

Psycho's numbers include press comps and opening night so we can't tell yet.

How is Disaster staying open?

The same way they got there...however that is.

I guarantee you Seth and Jack are probably not getting their writing/directing/whatever fees.

I'm hoping some shows gets boosts from Tony noms next week - really discouraged by Fiddler. No, it didn't need a revival, but Danny is so damn good in the role.

Fully Committed is only in previews, but it isn't doing what I thought it would.

Re: Fiddler, it's Passover. Expect it to pick back up when Passover is over.

Surprised Paramour is doing so well.

HOLY CRAP PARAMOUR.  Over $1 million in only six shows?  Incredible.  Those Cirque fans are really turning out.

Geez I'm shocked Paramour is doing so well, especially given the word-of-mouth on this board. Good for them though!

I wonder if they are earning a profit though.

Paramour is advertising heavily in the suburbs- i think its working!

Ooof I hope King and I picks up again once Marin and Dan are in the roles

I'm assuming it will. I think most people thought there would be some what of a dip once Kelli left the role. I'm hoping Marin is a big enough draw to keep numbers high. I'm a huge fan of hers so I hope the show stays afloat to let her have a good run!

Eek. Something tells me we're going to see a particularly huge culling of shows after the Tony's this year. 

 

At opposite ends of the spectrum, I'm thrilled with how well The Humans is doing and so disappointed that Eclipsed isn't having a better run. I think they're both really astonishing new plays. While I probably would have rooted for The Humans to win the Tony, I will shift my hopes to it going to Eclipsed since it needs the support. Of course, I also loved King Charles III. That category might be an exceptionally close one this year, come to think of it...

Makes Kelli an even more bankable star to see that much of a drop- good for her!

Nice to see something rotten getting a bit of a boost, most likely due to Shakespeare's b-day (really people were celebrating his death but still cool)

Damn. Discouraging numbers for Bright Star. Just hoping it runs through the summer at this point, I guess.

Fun Home's lowered $49 ticket price is really starting to show

I can't answer how much she missed, but she was in Sunday afternoon, and you certainly couldn't tell she was sick if she still was.

There's a new critics' darling in town. It happens.

 

The flavor du jour soon becomes yesterday's news.

"Surprised Paramour is doing so well."

 

Well, I can't say it was good, but truth to tell, the acrobatics alone proved more entertaining than anything in Hamilton, Fun Home, Waitress, American Psycho...
