Wow; two straight $1 million weeks for MARY POPPINS! Ouch at CLYBOURNE PARK.

[Wynbish]

And again, End of the Rainbow... wah wah waaaah

[Patti LuPone FANatic]

"End of The Rainbow" obviously needs quite a few Friends of Dorothy....(and more) to improve its grosses. Wow to "Lion King"! from RC in Austin, Texas

[JillianSch]

Not looking good for Ghost

[Deena Jones]

WOW! LOTS of drops...

[dtzumbrunnen]

Nice end of the run numbers for Streetcar. They never saw numbers that high throughout the run!

[ACL2006]

it should also be noted that both The Lion King & Wicked did 9 performances that week. And Once beats out Newsies for the first time. War Horse shouldn't even bother changing theaters, I think it's done.

[Rainbowhigh23]

Ricky better not take another vacation.

[tphiliboy152]

^He didn't take a vacation this week. Surprised it dropped that much. He was only out for 3 performances.

[broadwaydevil]

I actually thought the drop off would be worse given how many people I saw at the box office Wednesday evening.

[Rainbowhigh23]

It bounced back considerably but a few days of him being out and there was a noticeable dip.

[MKunkel]

I'm rather confussed how Harvey is able to sell 8,269 seats when Studio 54's capacity is 8,032 for 8 performances. Do they have standing room all of a sudden?

[Wynbish]

They sold tickets to people's Harvey's

[wonkit]

They sold Harvey seats to people's Harveys.

[bdn223]

How is the maximum gross potential for Bring It On only $600,000, i know its only doing 7 previews , but even with 8 its maximum gross wouldnt be more than $800,000...and its playing in one of Broadways largest theater?!?!

[Ejm105989]

Glad to see One Man, Two Guvnors is still pulling good numbers.

[mc1227]

Some pretty good numbers for most. Ghost may hang on into the fall. Very glad to see that Nice Work did not have a significant dip considering Kelli O'Hara was out all week.

[Quiche2]

I can see why BEST MAN is up so much this week, with Angela leaving.

[shrekster224]

Mary Poppins is holding pretty strong! I would consider seeing it if Maddy Trumble was joining the Broadway company and not the tour. Sad to see how Evita suffers without Ricky, as I really enjoyed the production as a whole.

[dramamama611]

BDN -- I'm pretty sure they have the balcony closed -- which would reduce the number of seats available. But you may be right...if you do the math, the potential gross would bring ticket prices to approx 70 bucks apiece. THAT can't be right.

But OUCH -- average ticket price is $45? That's a whole lot of papering!

[TheatreKid3]

A friend of mine (who has many close friends in the cast of MARY POPPINS) was telling me that some of her friends were told by some higher ups in Disney Theatricals that they are expecting POPPINS to have at least another 5 years left in it. Kind of shocked me at first, but their numbers continue to look great.

[tphiliboy152]

^I'm happy to see Poppins doing well. It was such a great show (saw the OBC). I'm sure the current cast is great as well.

[Patti LuPone FANatic]

Does it appear that "Bring It On" might wind up being another "Lysistrata Jones"? from RC in Austin, Texas

[broadwaydevil]

It's not even close. Lysistrata did far worse. Its gross potential was in the teens for most of the weeks it was open.

[theatreguy]

Bring It On's top price is $75 for previews when purchased in advance. That would account for the low potential gross.
