INDUSTRY INSIGHT: Weekly Grosses Analysis - 4/4
By: BWW Special Coverage Apr. 04, 2016
Welcome to this week's edition of our new WEEKLY GROSSES ANALYSIS - read on for all the weekly grosses statistics for the movers and shakers from the latest grosses, for the week ending 4/3/2016.
Of note this week, WAITRESS played only seven scheduled previews last week and did a very healthy $834,272.40, playing to over 100% capacity.
Also, SHUFFLE ALONG grossed $235,617 for two performances for the week ending 4/3/16, performing to 100% capacity at an average ticket price of $122.33. A reminder that the show was on hiatus for March 28-31, and that the performance on Friday, April 1 was a benefit for the Actor's Fund (a wonderful thing to do!).
And, grosses for THE CRUCIBLE include comps for four press performances as well as opening night (Thursday, March 31).
