Based on the $645K running cost of Cinderella the show should recoup any week now, which makes me wonder how Motown and Matilda still haven't recouped yet despite almost alway making $1million+ a week.
Rocky seems to be finding an audience.
Great early numbers for Violet and Lady Day.

Bridges can't seem to catch a break. I'd imagine it will announce a closing date pretty soon.
"If/Then" has another great week. It'll be very interesting to see if the very mixed reaction it has received from critics will have any affect on it's grosses.

Posted: 3/31/14 at 3:34pmI confess: I thought the producers of Cinderella were completely insane for not closing at the end of last year, but they're really working magic with Jepsen and Drescher. Good on 'em!

Posted: 3/31/14 at 3:37pm^ Same here! I did not think they would pull in strong numbers, but I was wrong.

#11Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 3/30/14
Posted: 3/31/14 at 4:17pmClearly a first preview -- filled I expect with rabid screaming fans (I tried to be one of them but lost the lottery) -- is not much data to work with, but still, pretty impressive numbers for a single performance for HEDWIG at the Belasco, with just 1,000 seats of which 200 are in the balcony. Will be interesting to see if they can keep it up (so to speak).

Wow, a very good week for so many shows! ALL THE WAY - that's crazy high for a play. Looks like the bigger theatre did help them. Most of the new musicals and revivals are pretty doing well.
We won't be able to tell if the reviews will kill IF/THEN for a few weeks because its advance is pretty good.
BRIDGES is gone, what a shame.
That's not a strong start for Violet - I assume part of the issue is that the Roundabout's subscription fees are too inexpensive.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 3/31/14 at 4:52pmIs it true that the producers of Bridges took out a loan to keep the show going? (re:article in NY Times). Hope they got a low interest rate because they just flushed money down the toilet. It is one thing to believe in your show, it is another to be in denial about the non interest in your show.

Posted: 3/31/14 at 5:26pmI don't think it hurt Cinderella that it was spring break for many schools in NYC...all independent/private schools were off and it was spring break in other areas as well. Now everyone is back but then NYC public/parochial schools will be off again at Easter Passover..so I would imagine tickets sales will go up then as well.

Legs Diamond had a healthy advance & Peter Allen
Once the reviews came out and the advance disappeared, so did Legs

Who might be a possible Cinderella replacement for Carly? Anna Kendrick, maybe? Wow, the numbers don't look so great for "Mothers and Sons". I'm rooting for it, from afar.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 3/31/14 at 6:13pmBoth Carly and Fran extended til June. They are not just a good business decision, but they are actually great in the show and it feels like a new show with Carly's take on the lead role, and the glamour and humor that Fran brings.

Posted: 3/31/14 at 7:38pmVery good week for many shows, it's interesting that neither Motown and Matilda have recouped but I imagine they will in the next few months.

Posted: 3/31/14 at 9:17pmHow can it be that Matilda has not recouped? It has grossed 64M since it opened.

Posted: 3/31/14 at 10:02pmThe producers of Matilda spent a fortune on TV commercials. There were many weeks when their grosses were not that exceptional and if the show breaks even at 700,000 a week, then they only made 150,000 or less for some weeks. If it cost 15 million to produce, then it has a few weeks more until it recoups.
