It seems that this is the first week in quite a long time that there has been no huge decrease in the amount of people a show has pulled into a theatre. There is not one show which has seen a drop of more than 10%. Chicago seen the steepest drop (-9.5%). August: Osage County also seen a drop. It was less than Chicagos drop, but considering that last week it was showing at less than 45% capacity a drop is still not healthy. This week the show has dropped to 33.3% capacity (-8.8%) The show cannot be making money and I still feel that it will close soon. Most family musicals remained steady (The Little Mermaid -0.1%), as did most musicals is general (Jersey Boys +0.7%, Billy Elliott +2.1%). Alot of plays seemed to see a big resurgence in visitors with Norman Conquests (+15.7%) and Waiting for Godot (+14.9%) the biggest gainers. Overall there were more people watching Broadway shows this week - 72.05% of seats were sold compared to 70.45% last week.
