Good week for Peter and the Starcatcher!

[Phantom of London]

Once goes through the million pound barrier.

[bwayphreak234]

It's probably safe to say that Jesus Christ Superstar will be closing this Sunday since business still sucks.

[little_sally]

Is this enough of an improvement for Jesus Christ Superstar?

[wdwfreak]

They ARE closing next Sunday.. All of their ads on websites say so along with their website.

[Patti LuPone FANatic]

Yay for "Chicago"! By the way, has anyone seen the show recently? from RC in Austin, Texas

[ACL2006]

it's nice to see three new musicals doing well and grossing $1 million(well, Nice Work fell just short by $1,422). And I'm still amazed that approx. 14,000 people still show up to see Spiderman every week!?!?!

[jdrye222]

the Spiderman numbers just continue to depress me. Really, 14,000 people would rather see that than just about anything else of quality?!
Ugh.
Oh well.
I'm glad Porgy is at least breaking even in Audra's absence... just barely. but it should start making a small profit once she's back.

[wdwfreak]

Also, with the way War Horse has been grossing lately, I doubt LCT is still thinking of transfering the show.

[ACL2006]

War Horse is also over 3 hours long. They should change their schedule to 7pm performances Tue/Wed/Thur. And if a transfer is still in the works, it needs to be a smaller theater with lots of wing space(Sondheim?? Belasco??)

[Markecib]

I was thinking the same about War Horse. Their numbers have been dropping week by week. I don't really see it playing past end of the year.

[Rainbowhigh23]

Evita - que fue?

[frogs_fan85]

I think the National Theatre would be more behind War Horse's transfer than LCT.

[CurtainPullDowner]

Good for ONCE, great to see an artistic, no star, no stage gimmick show succeed, but even without the Big TONY, NICE WORK is this close to a Mil and had a bigger increase than ONCE.

And I'm sure Phantom of London knows a million pounds and a million bucks are quite dif these days.

[massofmen]

Rock of Ages Grosses over 500k in the helen Hayes with an average tix price of 109.58. All musicals should make bad movies i guess. wow.

[Bwaydide92]

But NICE WORK is still down from it's opening prices. It was well into a Million a week at the beginning so it's still below that. I'm not sure if it will last past a year.

[wonkit]

As more shows close, the surviving musicals will pick up the slack.

[GlindatheGood22]

Wow. Audra's absence hit Porgy and Bess pretty hard.

[bwayphreak234]

Memphis can not be around much longer... Matilda would be great in the Shubert.

[mjroberts972]

I wish Ghost was doing better. I really hope it makes it through the summer

[Jonwo]

The Shubert seems the most likely option for Matilda, the Winter Garden was touted but I can't see Mamma Mia! moving just yet.

Harvey's doing great, I wonder how well it would be doing had it been done commericially.

[mc1227]

Nice numbers for the 3 new musicals and I think Nice Work has performed great considering there was very little early buzz and advertising on this show. They will dip when Kelli is on hiatus but it's a show that is a crowd pleaser and if the replacements are well known next year, they should continue to run.

[TheatreKid3]

I think the Shubert is the perfect place for MATILDA to go. I'd bet money it will go there.

[Jonwo]

I agree, the other option which is unlikely is Mamma Mia! moving to the Shubert and Matilda goes into The Winter Garden but TBH I think Matilda would suit the Shubert and it's in a nice location with good capacity.
