It's not a big amount, but every week I'm glad to see The Humans do a little bit better. I wasn't sure if such a small play could survive on Broadway, but this far it seems do be doing well.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Well, when you don't offer rush or discounts...lol"
Granted it was only three performances, but when you are above 100% for both your gross potential and capacity it shows that they won in the gamble to not offer rush or discounts from the get go. I'll be curious to see if they maintain those kinds of numbers for any length of time.
Fun Home is still doing great. They've recouped, so as long as they're making their nut, then it's all profit.
And yeah for The Humans! Maybe a front-runner for Best Play. Surprised only because I feel like there's no "buzz" on the show, but people seem to be seeing it. So word of mouth must be good!

Seriously? I feel like there is a TON of buzz. At least on this message board and among the critics. Personally I think it's getting significantly more buzz than it deserves, but I seem to be in the minority there.
Buzz meaning I've heard no one talking about it on the street, seen no one with a Playbill walking around, none of my friends have posted about it, etc. I'm not digging at the show. I rather enjoyed it off-Broadway, if a little ho-hum, but I'm happy to see an original work carving out an audience on Bway.
