With yet another drop of 5.5% this week to a gross of only $675K. I imagine it's weekly running costs are in that range, but any further dip may shutter this show by the end of the fall. That Marquis is a barn to fill with the show's potential gross of $1,555,000.
Surprised it hasn't picked up for the summer. If this trend continues, I can't see it surviving through the fall. Honestly, I was put off by Gloria complaining about the lack of Tony nominations it received.

I was more turned off by her eye-roll worthy "look at me stealing the spotlight" moment at the Tonys
Are there still plans for Gloria to join the show? Maybe that will help it.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

Or the producers thought that bringing her on to promote her own show (which she has been very involved with since the beginning and still sees when ever she is in town) was a good idea to get the general american audience interested. Was Sara Barellies' appearance also a "stealing the spotlight moment too"?
Anyways, the fact that they were over 1 mil all throughout January (except for the one week) is actually impressive. They were at a million only a month ago as well. It is just a weird year, and they aren't the only ones experiencing this. Shuffle Along was over a million just a month ago (if even that long), and now they are not hitting $800K. It's an industry wide problem at the moment. Even shows that were hoping for a "post-closing announcement push" such as Matilda and Curious Incident are falling faster than usual. I looked at the grosses from the matching weeks from the past few years, not only are many of the shows down, but overall gross is as well (even though there are more shows open).
It will leave when the time is right. They do have a few things going for them: 1) Not many people are knocking down the doors of the Nederlanders to take the Marquis, 2) If they need to go to royalty waivers, the creative team seems like people who would be on board, 3) its not like they have to worry about a stop clause.

Business did improve for The Last Ship when Sting went into the show, it was just that the advance for it after his scheduled departure wasn't very good.

It would be a smaller role than Sting's was, but I think it could work.
