Sponsored By: The Book of Mormon - The New York Times calls The Book of Mormon "the best musical of this century." The Washington Post says, "It is the kind of evening that restores your faith in musicals." And Entertainment Weekly says, "Grade A: the funniest musical of all time." Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show calls it "Genius. Brilliant. Phenomenal." The Book of Mormon, the nine-time Tony Award®-winning Best Musical.
Pretty crazy that Linda Vista managed to drop 30% in attendance, yet still see their gross go up. I mean, 30% capacity for the Helen Hayes isn't very many seats, but still.

No discount code necessary. They have Orchestra seats for $69."
Also the amount of comps they throw out is insane.
Kudos to BEAUTIFUL for ending its run on a high note! Gross potential of over 120% and over 100% capacity for the week!
Poor Harry Potter --- 3rd lowest average price this week (after Lightning Thief and Derren Brown) at $77.20. On the bright note it still has 100% capacity so either they're giving away tickets to seat fillers or they're selling a lot of $40 tickets.
No way Lightning Thief can sustain that through January. Unless they have some rich fool who wants to bankroll it. Even with heavy comps, they're only averaging 421 tickets a night, which doesn't even fill the orchestra! Kind of a disgrace that of all the shows that could have played Broadway and could have employed actors/musicians/writers/stagehands...this is the one that made it.
On a brighter note, what an impressive start for TINA! I wonder if they can continue that momentum or if previews are front-loaded.
God I love broadway when Hadestown is able to out gross Frozen and Mean Girls. We live in a society....
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.

It’s odd that, despite the far superior reviews, Tony Awards win and West End success, Cursed Child is having to deal with the same basic problem as Frozen and Mean Girls - the core fanbase has worn itself out now Because Harry Potter is the oldest and most popular of the three brands, they’re able to sell enough cheap tickets to keep attendance 100%, but falling ticket prices mean less money, and it could fall below it’s nut sooner than expected. Cursed Child will outlast Frozen and Mean Girls (which returned to mediocrity after a poor September and a decent October) but I don’t expect it to run as long as it has on the West End...

Comps, $49 rush tickets for anyone that asks, $39 balcony, $39 on TDF, plus low attendance overall. They're averaging just over 400 people per performance. Most shows they're offering anyone with a ticket in the balcony or mezzanine to move to the orchestra.
