| It was around $5-600k a week before covid which is probably around break even. It was mostly previews so it could have gone up. Reopening last fall saw the numbers around $300k which is losing money. And this last 6 week run is even less. Compare to beatlejuice return that is almost $1m. So it’s not covid related at this point since other shows are over $2m and MM over $3m | |

| I saw it multiple times on TDF, always matinees, twice in what appeared house seats. It never found its audience. And I thought its marketing was quite good. They sold the show that performed, finding the right points of access. This last Wednesday matinee’s audience was quiet for most of the performance and then exploded at the end, rapturous, people near me in the spotty mezz had faces awash with tears. | |

| Of all the shows to have to contrast them with. Beetlejuice is just awful. The Broadway and off-Broadway audiences are clearly different animals. |

| Simply because it returned not just from covid last fall but a hiatus. I guess doubtfire might have been better but that return was a flop. Mockingbird didn’t return. I liked Beetlejuice As for audience, there are many successful transfers like fun home, in the heights, spring awakening and many flops like bloody Jackson, be more chill. |

| I really think the first COVID closing hurt Girl from the North Country’s momentum. I went back last night and loved it. The show builds in power and the audience applause was rapturous in the end. I hope the show is done regionally if not on tour. | |

| With locked in subscriber base in tour stops, I think it would be a good show in subscriptions. | |
