You have no idea how happy I am that this week's numbers are nowhere near as abysmal as the past week's ones were...
Last week, everything was in the red and nearly every show took a hit.
Good to see that this week looks much, much better.

Although very sad and bitter to see Comet leave, I'm very happy to see they ended on a high note

I couldn't see a single empty seat at Comet on Friday or Saturday afternoon from where I was sitting, so I am not surprised by these numbers. So glad they went out with a bang.

I'm very pleased with these numbers. For Great Comet, GHD, and Bandstand especially, at least they'll all close with a bang.

I have followed the discussions regarding Great Comet, so I understand that its prospects were dim from the get-go, and of course its producers presumably knew that the advance sale was dismal.
Just out of curiosity, though, how many other open-ended productions have closed without ever actually posting a bad week?

The Evita revival?
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

I have a few newbie questions regarding grosses. Thanks in advance for your help :)
1. How can seats sold be over 100%?
2. I see a Highest Ticket Price listed. I assume this is the original sale (via the theatre) price. Obviously not including resales.

1)When the show sells Standing Room.
2)It's the highest ticket price offered, Premium Seats.

The Evita revival slowed significantly during the fall, hovering between 50-65% of Potential Gross sales. Shuffle Along never grossed above 87.5% of its potential. If there is anything I would comp it to it would be The Boy From Oz, which similarly rarely fell below 90% in terms of capacity.

Newsies always printed money, but Disney closed it because they were bored (?)

I think Newsies was a lot more expensive then we all like to think. Add to that if I had to guess Dinsney thought it would close before the tour would. Thus they decided to split the difference and save some money, and close the Broadway production so they could tour with the Broadway sets.

1) It didn't cost more that we (or at least I) think.
2) The tour was entirely new physical production.
