| To me, it makes sense that the official count is only the number of performances post-opening. Sometimes that number is an indication of the effect of reviews. Many shows have pushed off their preview periods as long as possible to avoid reviews. You have shows like “Nick and Nora” and too many others to cite that have two months of previews, then they close a week after bad reviews. And shows that close on opening night should clearly be known to have had a single “real” performance, not the six weeks of previews. Previews are previews, for whatever reason the production deems them so. The count starts after opening. |
