Obviously, Waitress was going to drop without Sara but those are surprisingly strong numbers for Betsy's first week.

Were either LuPone or Ebersole out last week post-Tonys? That's a heck of a one week drop

War Paint didn't drop. Are you looking at Waitress?

War Paint dropped 12% in capacity, which was actually more than Waitress' drop in capacity.

Groundhog Day didn't fall as much as I expected, but the average ticket price drop is a problem. Can't survive if 3/4s of the audience is discounted. I have a feeling it's going to crash hard next week.

If I had a dollar for every time I've repeated this I could buy us all house seats to Hamilton. But one more time:

1. Why did the producers of Indecent rush to close the show if the grosses went up $100K in one week?
2. War Paint's gross actually went up slightly, but that Tony appearance is not going to help business.
3. Happy to see the Donna Murphy sold out by performance time, even if not at top price.
4. Delighted to see Bandstand's jump, even if it still has a ways to go.

Maybe Broadwayworld should change the attendance grosses to the monetary grosses. Currently it makes it seem attendance matters more.

I am aware, I was just stating why it was said it dropped.

They saw the advance sales.

Yes! I think this bodes quite well for them!

War Paint only did 7 shows in the week leading up to the Tonys (they had Tony Sunday off), which is why their gross is up a bit from last week. Ebersole was out for four performances this week, I believe.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I think most of that money came in after they posted their closing notice.

I never thought I'd say this...but I can see Bandstand outlasting both Groundhog Day and War Paint (which I expect will wrap up when Patti and Christine leave).

Maybe Broadwayworld should change the attendance grosses to the monetary grosses. Currently it makes it seem attendance matters more.
Both are clearly provided and monetary grosses are the first 5 columns you see when you read the chart or if you're on a smartphone, the first 2 columns. The chart certainly does not make it seem like attendance matters more.
If someone reads this chart and the comments every week and still doesn't get that the actual money they earn is what counts most, I'm not sure rearranging the chart will help them. And if you're referring to changing Rob's initial post, if people don't even bother to read the chart and just go by that post, that's on them.

Thrilled to see Bandstand reach their highest so far. Let's hope it can continue that way.
I could see GHD closing soon

I always figured GHD would close by Labor Day, and that seems likely.

Really curious to know what Bandstand's weekly operating cost is?

I can't imagine that Bandstand has that High of an operating cost. I mean it basically has one set, 2 leads who are well known within the Broadway community but are not names that are selling tickets, and must have a smaller pit as the cast plays their own instruments. It's probably best comparable to Kinky Boots which I believe has an operating cost around 650k?

Big drop in attendance for Kinky Boots but I'm sure once schools are out, Urie's teen fans will flock.

I think Sara started in March or April. There were some million dollar weeks with Jessie but I think the show generally sits in an $800,000-$900,000 range. Hopefully Betsy can get back up there and keep it in that range. It's a wonderful show and I'd like to see it run for a while. Plus, if Sara is going to come back at some point to boost grosses, I doubt it'll be a few months after her recent run.
Bandstand's numbers still aren't amazing but they're trending upwards. It looks like a decent little boost from the successful Tony's performance but nothing that dramatic.
I'm curious if A Bronx Tale could get its numbers up with different casting. It could certainly coast in this place where it has leveled out. Many shows wish they could do that kind of consistently solid business.
Natasha, Pierre has been consistently over a million the last few weeks so it's hard to identify a Tony's bump. Fingers crossed they can keep it up once Groban departs. I also don't think Ingrid Michaelson will have an identifiable effect on the box office given these numbers.
