I've recovered from the fit of laughing over that last just statement. No show on Broadway would make it past it's first year without a gay audience. If you check the crowd at any show during it's early weeks - there we are. You read the stats Bway auds are primarily women and gay men and this show is built for that demographic. SideShow has to go thru the standard gestation period Manhattanites and theater fans for the first few months while the bridge and tunnel crowd find it and then finally the tourists. No producer opens in late November without a plan to hang in there until spring. Look at Gentleman's Guide and they did not have Universal and Comcast on their team. Those reviews were beyond glowing shows with lesser pedigree and notices gave themselves time I don't see SideShow not doing the same. It is my understanding that the balcony is out of play for the run so don't count it in when measuring how full the house is.
