Yikes, Spring Awakening. That production is so beautiful, but their numbers look like a revocation of their extension might be warranted.

WOW! On Your Feet is off to a great start. In other news, having 9 shows gross under 500k doesn't look good.

It's early October, though. That is to be expected.

Wow...some good numbers for Chicago.  It's heartbreaking to see struggling numbers for Dames at Sea...a show I would love to see.  Even Amazing Grace showed an improvement of sorts.  


"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Spring Awakening will benefit from holiday tourism.

Allegiance is off to a nice start!

Meanwhile, a friend of mine tried to use a discount code that was still technically valid for Spring Awakening last night and the box office refused to honor it.


A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Read the Allegiance preview thread and you may see why it is less shocking.

Their grosses are still severely low, though, I'd say.

Let's guess how many more months it will take Hamilton to recoup. I predict 4 months.

I will actually be surprised if it takes them that long.

They just announced they are 25% there now, so seems easy to do the math, no?

If they are 25% after 2 months, then it will take another 6 months to get to 100%.  But since ticket prices have increased, I'd say another 5 months.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I'm confused how their immense advance sales doesn't accelerate their distance to recouping. Shouldn't they be much closer to recoupment than 25% by now?

Advance sales aren't counted in advance. Otherwise they would have had almost $0 in sales this week.

Fairly certain the production doesn't see that profit until the actual date of the show the tickets are bought for (speaking for advanced sales vs performance date vs recoupment progress)

Broadwaystar2-Dames is not "OK." They are in over their head even in a tiny house.

Drama-Hamilton has 3 months under the belt. However, the 25% has to do with what has been recouped by investors at this point, not the amount of cash they have in hand. 

 

Greased-correct. The production does not get the money until the settlement for each week it relates to. So that huge advance just sits there and makes you comfortable. Right now they have enough of an advance to cover over 30 weeks of grosses: way more than they need to recoup. The are, in technical terms, sittin' pretty.

Yeah, holiday tourism really gave the Last Ship and Honeymoon in Vegas huge leaps in their flailing grosses last year.

Did honeymoon in Vegas run through a major holiday(Christmas, New Year's Eve) though?
