Posted: 5/2/11 at 3:54pmIt's nice to see "Sister Act" do well. It got a boost due to good word of mouth.

Posted: 5/2/11 at 4:27pmljay and tag -- just FYI, I believe it's a typo and you will be seeing a correction shortly. I'm told the figure is actually $612k (rather than $912k), which is DOWN a little bit, though still a lovely figure for a play these days.

Posted: 5/2/11 at 4:32pmThat Book of Mormon gross is amazing - 3rd highest of the week, and in only a medium sized theatre. Not such a great week for Priscilla, Addams Family or Wonderland.

Posted: 5/2/11 at 7:01pmI guess Stiller and/or Falco have a sizable fan base.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 5/2/11 at 7:24pmTKTS, how can you insinuate that "Sister Act" isn't doing well by gross? This week was up over $107K than last week.

Because it's potential gross is $1,334,271 meaning it's only reaching 59.91% of it's potential. That means it's heavily discounting to achieve that 99% attendance figure. That would be fine for a two year old show but this is a new show.

Posted: 5/2/11 at 7:34pmLa Cage definitely didn't go out with a bang. What a shame!

Posted: 5/3/11 at 3:00pmYou just need to look at the average ticket price for Sister Act to also see its not doing steller business

They cut the mezz in half too.
I'm just surprised it's not doing better business. It really is a fun show, but maybe the movie version is just too good?
