Damn Tuck! Back at it again with <30% grosses.
Any reason for so many double digit attendance jumps?

Most universities are out for the summer. Some public school districts are now out for the summer. It's all starting! Here we go!

It still hasn't reached 500k, which is its running cost. Not much to rejoice about.

I didn't say it had great grosses, but the number continues to get higher and I'm rejoicing that it isn't getting lower.

Their grosses may be slightly up, but their average ticket price is down (and are is 3rd from the bottom in terms of average ticket price across the street). I fear they may be burning through audience members and wont survive long past awards season

I'm so happy for American Psycho! It's been on the rise recently and I hope it keeps rising!

Congrats to Phantom! 28 years later, it can still break the million dollar mark.

Waitress continues to be a beast - incredibly consistent numbers week in and week out.
WOM has to help - I had 4 girlfriends who recently saw it along with multiple other new shows and proclaimed it their favorite.

Seeing The Humans continue to gross more and more brings a tear to my eye.

I'm feeling pretty mixed about Phantom, especially after such a long run. I saw it last Thursday, since it was the only show offering Thursday matinees, and was not very impressed. I sat in the center of front row mezzanine, and my goodness the mezzanine of Majestic is like literally IN THE SKY. Basically the view from my seat was like the rear mezz of Brooks Atkinson, and mind you it has one of the HUGEST mezzanine overhangs in Broadway theaters (the mezz even has more seats than the orch). Performance-wise, the actors were tired and uninspired at best, and many times they didn't even bother to sing out. Many first-timers and tourists were cheering and hollering during the curtain call, but after that I left the theater with a sour taste in the mouth (I did clap through, just fyi). Luckily, I saw The King and I with Mazzie that night and was totally blown away.

Most of these shows should see an increase in sales, right? I live in TN and school ended last week. So considering some states are out of school for the summer, it should be a given most shows see an increase this week. On a personal note....I love American Psycho and glad to see it doing well. I saw Tuck Everlasting Saturday.....it was a bit of a surprise. I actually really liked it. I think the "preview" video they put out sounds awful. But after seeing it, my opinion really changed. They need to redo it. I work for an airline and I see some of these shows while I'm in the city on an overnight. In no order, what I suggest to passengers are Tuck Everlasting, American Psycho and Bright Star. Hope to see the numbers rise for all these shows as the summer begins!

Songanddance, it wasn't being mean that was the problem, it was the use of the word "literally". It is literally annoying when people literally use that word literally all the time for literally no reason. Literally.

The Tuck numbers are just depressing.
