Everyday Rapture-- The Wal-Mart of Broadway

While perusing last week's box office totals, I did a double take on Everyday Rapture.

The show played to about 81% capacity--- not bad at all.

The show grossed $136,000--- not good at all

The average ticket price--- wait for it.... $28.

Really?? I am currently performing in a production of Cinderella here in Sacramento that is a $20 ticket. So you mean to tell me for eight bucks more, I can go to New York City and see a beloved Broadway star in a Tony nominated musical???

Either one of two things is going on here.

A) The producers knew that they would get some Tony love and just needed to fill the house until the nominations came out and generated some buzz

B) Nobody in New York cares about this show.

Does anyone remember seeing a brand new show with ticket prices and grosses this low??? I realize it's a small cast and it's probably not expensive to produce... but that makes no sense??

The marquee should read "Everyday Rapture--- at everyday low prices"
