Same kind of low turnout in the Fenway cinema in Boston this past Saturday. Mosr than 15 for sure, but way too many empty seats.

Compare that with the Met HD transmissions, which often tend to sell out on the Saturdays. (I often wind up going on the Wednesday night encores instead, and even they seem to be pretty well attended.)

Too bad...it was a wonderful show. And people NEED to attend these if we want more of them...

Interesting. The week it showed in Britain, it topped the cinema box-office chart - though that's partly because tickets to these events are significantly more expensive than regular movie tickets (slightly under double the price at the cinema where I saw it).

i've never gone. i hope they keep doing the musical/play broadcasts even if they aren't well attended. I will say for the theater, I bought an $5.50 slurpy during intermission and I rarely buy anything at concession stands, so the theater made some money off of me by showing BE.

Last night's showing at Regal Fenway had about 50 people; more than I had anticipated. I agree that this was nicely filmed/produced.
