Whoa, still looking dire for [REDACTED], but at least [REDACTED] is still hanging in there!

[Call_me_jorge]

Bright closure.

[Daddy Warbucks]

Waitress is still looking strong.

[neonlightsxo]

Waitress is the only new spring musical that appears to have (financial) legs. Who would've thought?

[Kad]

Shuffle Along did very strong numbers for its two performances.

[Tandrews]

Nice week for Waitress overall. Hamilton is such a cash cow. I wonder what will happen when LMM leaves at some point (assuming this year)?

[Kad]

Hamilton will do fine without LMM. He's not the draw.

Nothing?

[newintown]

I wonder how much money Disaster will have lost when it ends its limited run - and how much of that they believe they're going to get back from amateur and stock rights?

[Sammytravels]

Something rotten still hanging in there ??????

[Stew123]

Waitress grosses are incredible! Behold the power of Sara Barellies.

[neonlightsxo]

That's true, we haven't had a full week of Shuffle Along grosses to compare yet.

$900+K last week, it's second highest revenue week for the year, doesn't really seem like it's hanging at all.

[Jshan05]

Great week for Broadway overall! Can't wait to see how Shuffle Along does once it has a full week!

[neonlightsxo]

Sammytravels, certainly not just "hanging."

Assuming LMM leaves around Summer the show is completely sold out for another 6 months after that. It will be fine without him.

no more or less than they invested, and not enough to pay an accountant to keep track of it.

[newintown]

Hogan, do you mean only an initial investment, or do you think additional injections of cash have been needed (a la Honeymoon In Vegas)?

It won't make one bit of difference.

[10086sunset]

Wow, Bright Star took a beating attendance wise.

[wdwfreak]

Which is very typical of a show the week following their opening when they weren't selling out prior.

Oh I'm happy it did what it did.

From posts at the start of the year, I got the impression that it was slowly coming to an end. This was from those with a lot more knowledge on what's considered a good/bad week gross, than myself.

From what I can see from this weeks figures, it did better than a few shows that debuted after it. I'm a big fan so would want it to run as long as possible. 

[10086sunset]

Kinky Boots was down -15.5 percent.

Didn't realize Wayne Brady was such a draw.
