Back in August the Motown producers said that their show would recoup shortly. Has there ever been an announcement? Gemtlemen's Guide has steadily slipped about $175K in weekly gross over the last 6 weeks -- not a good sign. It's hard to figure Mamma Mia's slide. Theoretically the Broadhurst is a better fit with a better location than the Winter Garden, but apparently the move has thrown off the foreign tourist crowd that eats this show up.

I'm still surprised the show costs so much to run and it probably hasn't been recouping much as breaking even lately. Mamma Mia surprises me. It seemed like a really good idea to go smaller. And who knew rocky would bomb. I can't imagine fiddler being a huge sell out hit, so it might be a while until winter garden is booked solid.
