| Down $35k from week before which was opening week which usually is less because of comp tickets opening week. Even worse is the 79.7% capacity that does include comps this last week. If things don’t improve dramatically (like increase by $300k or more consistently) the show is probably closing in January. | |

| I wouldn't read too much into opening week and post-opening week grosses. There's second night press likely using up post-opening tickets, and maybe a lot of Tony voters booked tickets last week as well. With the lucrative holidays coming up, and presumably raves boosting future business, it would make sense they might try to give away near-term unsold tickets to award voters who could also cultivate industry word of mouth. I have no inside knowledge of operating costs but the show has an onstage cast of only 9 plus understudies and an orchestra of 7, so perhaps they can sustain just minor losses til awards season. | |

| I have very little idea what the show is about but the rainbow logo seems so generic (and 1980s Care Bears) that it held almost no appeal for me. This thread is the first time I’ve reconsidered my ambivalence to the show. Based on buzz here and elsewhere, it seems like the hot new musical of the season is Some Like it Hot. Is Akimbo better? |
