Grosses are in for last week ending 1-9-2011. As you'll note some stellar sales by some shows in maximizing their revenue even with a lower attendance. The big dogs, Wicked, Lion King, Jersey Boys, Merchant etc, continue to perform well along with a few shows that closed last week, In the Heights and A Little Night Music, Next to Normal all selling strong. Interestingly, Spiderman had 100% capacity yet only took in $1.59MM, well below their gross potential. Perhaps the NYC Consumer Advocate had some influence on their pricing?....
Notable in this chart are American Idiot, The Addams Family and Mary Poppins for maintaining a high capacity and gross and keeping their APA and RPS in the 'reasonable' category.
