Kudos to Peters on her first full week of shows. Hopefully she can keep up these types of numbers, or at least hover around the $1 million mark.

OOTI seems to be doing well, 76% gross potential, over 100% capacity.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour will be starting up in Somerville, NJ on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City, MO(May 29-Jun 3) and is now then touring throughout Japan August & September 2018. Japan schedule: Tokyo(Aug 15-21), Kanagawa(Aug 28-29), Shizuoka(Aug 30), Osaka(Aug 31 - Sept 2).

Who is going to "A Bronx Tale" that it continues to flourish week in and week out?

I haven't seen it, and I have nothing against it... I just have no idea how it continues to do this well?  The movie itself was barely profitable (it made $17 million at the box office when it was released).  I know that Waitress is from a lesser-known film, but comparisons are tough because Waitress started with the Bareilles factor, had great reviews and Tony nominations.  Bronx Tale had mixed to good reviews, but no Tony nom's and nothing else that really stood out - and yet it continues to succeed.

Good for it... I'm just scratching my head every week as I see the numbers...

A BRONX TALE is being heavily and successfully sold to groups in the tri-state area. Its absolutely the Jersey Boys crowd.

That is peculiar. I wonder if the producers just didn’t send the info out in enough time??

Looks like they are doing the same thing for Dolly.

Congratulations Bernadette for what I believe is (only just) the highest grossing numbers for a single week in your Broadway career! This week is looking good too - they’ve almost already sold out the entire weekend (Friday to Sunday). Decent availability for the earlier performances.

Look at the old girl now, fellas!

Band’s Visit grosses are on the Broadway League website. Not sure why they didn’t get entered for BWW.

The Jersey Boys demographic. Stand outside the theatre as it lets in or out and you'll see.

Band's Visit is there now
