For the first time in a year, COME FROM AWAY fell below 100% capacity. Their Tuesday show had a lot of seats available.

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 continues through Sarasota, FL(Apr 24-25); Panama City, FL(Apr 27); Jacksonville, FL(Apr 28); Kansas City, MO(May 29-Jun 3); then touring throughout Asia in June - August.

It is weather related. If you noticed on social media, even Hamilton had some empty seats that were not obviously reflected in their grosses. I am happy with how Dolly is hanging in there. Their numbers will improve when we head to Spring . They will definitely benefit from TKTS and walk up business.

I wonder how OOTI is going to hold on till the Tony's. I think it's a lovely show but their numbers are consistently awful.

I know they had two more shows this week than they did last week, but very happy to see Angels grosses up.

I don’t understand why OOTI doesn’t have a discount code out there. I’m the type of person who likes to plan in advance and would go ahead get my May tickets now.

Honestly I'm shocked THE PARISIAN WOMAN finished it's entire run.

Frozen is selling really well.

I know some posters keep referring to Tarzan and Little Mermaid as productions that started off fairly well but eventually dropped off somewhat quickly and closed shortly thereafter. I don't recall exactly, but did Tarzan and LIttle Mermaid start this strong in previews? Maybe Mermaid, but it seems like Tarzan never really sold particularly well... even in previews. But I could be wrong....

I hate seeing "it's" instead of its, but I know that it's (HA) autocorrect. I can't stand it when it happens to me and it has.

Neither Tarzan nor The Little Mermaid had anything near Frozen's early #'s in previews. Even with tepid or average reviews, this thing will be a near sellout once the Disney marketing machine is in full gear.

Even though its wage bill is high, it only has 8 actors and no orchestra, once reviews come in, it should pick up a bit.

there are much more then 8 actors in this production, (angel shadows)...but now thinking about it, the gross percentage was eh, but given that they did 7 performances in a pretty big theatre I'd say they had a nice week

Please forgive me if this is a dumb question, but when reading the Angels gross, is that based on ticket sales for people who buy both parts (Millennium Approaches and Perestroika, which I understand are staged with separate tickets), or does it also include those who snag a ticket only for one part?

So happy for Dolly. Grossing higher than staple brands like Phantom, Kinky Boots, School of Rock, Chicago, Anastasia. You either got it, or you aint. And boys, she’s got it!!

I doi not think its going to get negative reviews tbh. With #frozenforthetony by people . I think critics will do a 'wicked' with this one. https://twitter.com/BazBam?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor
