So for this week our three finalist are:
The 39 Steps
Mary Poppins
Burn the Floor
The average tickets sold to The 39 Steps was only 67$ this week. That and Burn the Floor are the only shows which had an average ticket cost in the 60's. The weekly percentage of The 39 steps was well above 70% and it has been out for a good amount of time. Burn the Floor is around 70% and this is not a good sign for a show that is just opening. I think the producers of The 39 Steps are smarter and are able to make the show look way better than it is so it will stick around. Burn the Floor is hurt by its lack of a story line or dialogue. When going into a broadway theatre most people dont expect to sit there for 2 hours and watch people dance with no set no story or plot line. I have not seen the show and am sure it is wonderful but maybe a broadway venue isnt the best place for this? So my guess is Burn the Floor will be the next show to announce its closing even if it isnt for a few months. I could be wrong though weirder closings have come up. So we shall see.
