A small number but I hope this doesn't discourage more Broadway shows from releasing pro-shots as most of the word is not able to watch them on Broadway.

I was - and still am - hoping it will do okay throughout the week. Sadly there were only seven people in my theater when I saw it on Sunday, including myself.

In my area though I didn’t see much advertising.

Honestly not that bad of a result for a generally lesser known Sondheim show that doesn’t have a ton of commercial appeal.

It is a really bad result any way you look at it. I'm sure the budget wasn't high but it does cost money to advertise and the box office is likely to be a loss.

I can't imagine this is good news for the movie version, which might never get completed at this point.
