Harry Potter's Magic Wand Is Still Limp On Broadway

Filed under: Broadway Babies > Daniel Radcliffe > Katie Holmes

katiedanrad.jpg

Not many Americans are interested in seeing Harry Potter's ween!

Broadway grosses for the week ending November 16th were just released and it looks like Equus is having some serious problems filling its seats.

Last week, on average, Daniel Radcliffe's play only sold a little more than half its seats per show.

On the other hand, Katie Holmes' All My Sons is doing well!

It was Broadway's 4th best performer for the week.

Mrs. Cruise's show was 91% sold on average per show.

Maybe David Beckham can step in for a few shows for his fellow Brit, Dan.

We bet those shows would sell out in seconds!

    How long did anyone REALLY expect this play to be "big"? I mean it's fucking Daniel Radcliffe for Christ's sake.. As soon as the hype he was butt-ass on stage died down.. what did you really expect?

    Color Me Badd was a male R&B vocal group which was formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, US. The original members of the group were Bryan Abrams (born November 16, 1969); Mark Calderon (born September 27, 1970); Sam Watters (born July 23, 1970); and Kevin Thornton (born June 17, 1969).

    Broadway has become entertainment for tourist families… thats why its so low. Families would rather see violence than sex… its the american way of life.



  9. 9

    That's too bad. It's a really good staging of the play, and he's actually really good in it.



  10. 10

    if Ratty married Bwitney the seats would be full and swollen! He's more talented than katwoman any day!



  11. 11

    If David Beckham was in it….i would never miss a show

    Because the theatre "EQUUS" is in is more than TRIPLE THE SIZE of the theatre "All My Son's" is set in — love you Perez, but get your facts straight and stop shitting all over Daniel Radcliffe.



  16. 16

    In what alternate universe is this man-child perceived as a sex symbol??

    Besides the U.K., that is…??



  17. 17

    stalker



  18. 18

    It's odd how the talented are not selling, yet the untalented are filling in seats.
    Kind of sad, actually.

    sorry perez this isn't really true. i just went to see equus last week and the seats completely full. not only that but my friends saw it 2 to 3 weeks before i did and they said it was also packed. idk where ur getting that information. not only that but the play is absolutely moving.



  22. 22

    Re: buhbuhrandon – haha THANK you!



  23. 23

    Re: && I got a thing for you! – umm your retarded. if you've never seen the play than you shouldn't try and talk shit about it. it's an amazing play, that's why people thought it was going to be "big" sweetie. and perez isn't even right on his facts about this since i just saw it and it was completely packed. people were trying to get in and weren't aloud. he's just narking on daniel when really…this play is really fucking awesome.

  28. 28

    YES on 8! Gays have all the rights a citizen has already. You're only talking about Marriage, which is in essence a contract between a MAN and WOMAN! You want something which is NOT meant for a MAN and MAN; just like a MAN and DOG can't marry; just like a MAN and TREE cannot marry. Call it something else and make it a contract, and it can be YOURS, all yours! Doesn't that make sense, call it something else and it can be only for homosexuals. That's empowerment.

    Re: Fukitol Fred – SO…NOW I'M MEXICAN (TEJANO REFERENCE), I "KILLED" SASSY, WHOM I'M SURE YOU ARE, AND I CAN CONTROL ANOTHER PERSON INTO POSTING OR NOT POSTING??? Hmmm, O.K. YOU ARE MAKING YOURSELF LOOK REALLY FOOLISH!

NOW I'M SASSY? HAHA GREASER, YOU MAKE ME LAUGH. SHE WASN'T THE TYPE TO MORPH FOUR FUCKING TIMES A DAY LIKE YOU DO. YOU SHOULD JUST FUCK OFF AND DIE WETBACK. YOU ARE TRANSPARENT AND STUPID BEYOND WORDS.

    NotQueerAtAll Should go to hell.

    NotQueerAtAll Should go to hell.

    Anyway, I'm sure its an amazing show. He's an amazing actor, and obviously, perez, you don't have your facts straight.



  33. 33

    Re: Hot Monkey Love…Obama Style! – I FORGOT MY MEDS BITCH. AND I'M WORKING TONIGHT TOO. WHY DON'T YOU HEAD OUT, RUN A FEW RED LIGHTS, BUY SOME ICE. THAT'S HOW YOU PEOPLE ROLL ISN'T IT?

    Re: Hot Monkey Love…Obama Style! – IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO SEE YOU LOSER. DON'T EVEN HAVE TO TRY. YOU SAY THE SOME OLD FUCKING SHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. BESIDES, I CAN JUST FOLLOW THE SMELL. YOU STANK



  35. 35

    Probably fans are doing this as payback for moving the movie. If they would had just stuck to the plan nothing would had happened, the plan of the movie coming out in November. he has already done this, last year in England and everyone, i mean EVERYONE, knew and look how well OOTP did! If you draw attettion to it, it will be a huge sore… i hate Warner Brothers!



  36. 36

    Tom better hurry up and buy a few tickets and send them to his fellow scientoloonies - this can't be good for his image, Katie coming in fourth?



  37. 37

    Harry Potter = Dead in the Water

    What a dumbass; nobody cares about him - it was THE MOVIE they liked. He just HAPPENED TO BE the person playing the character. Guess he didn't realize it was never about him. Shame.



  38. 38

    It's not just Equus that's only able to fill a little over half its seats, most broadway shows are hurting and selling about the same. Also, a reason Katie's play is selling well is because it's still fairly new and because the broadway beloved John Lithgow is in it. Your posts about broadway are one sided and uneducated.



  39. 39

    oh puhleese. her musical is new

    his has been out awhile.

    ur fucking ridiculous



  40. 40

    Mario, if it wasn't for you going every week to stare at his weenie they'd have closed by now.



  41. 41

    Harry, my love. I love nerds. He's great. Don't trash him.



  42. 42

    This is a worthwhile show to see. Radcliffe, peen or no peen, does a fantastic job. Theatregoers are missing a great performance!



  43. 43

    Re: Dimples34 – RU calling Radcliffe a dumb ass. Chrissakes, have you even see the play? I have. He was jaw droppingly brilliant. Fantastic. Noooo, not on the level of the play Billy Elliot but definitely worth seeing. Radcliffe is becoming quite an accomplished actor. See him sometime. Duhhhh.



  44. 44

    From what I've read on these blogs, you're just Daniel-bashing for no reason at all. That the seats are FULL but the venue is huge. Have you even see the play, Perez? Or is this another one of your vendetta's for no reason at all? What did Radcliffe ever do 2u?



  45. 45

    okay, equus ads are on tv, which means seats are available, but most of broadway is down right now. the only reason kh's play might, MIGHT be filled in more is because you have idiots buying tickets to maybe see tc and you have people buying tickets to see john lithgrow, dianne wiest and others that are doing a great job. the others don't include kh who got okay reviews, but the others did. I also thought his run was over (DR) BUT-when tickets are not selling out, alot are thrown over to 'tkts' and are sold for half price the day of the show. where alot of us middle and lower class go.



  46. 46

    I got tickets to see this play on January 8 as a birthday present to my partner, I hope it doesn't close before then!

  47. gabi says – reply to this


    47

    You all realize the reason all my sons is doing so well is because of Veteran actors Lithgow and Weist - Holmes' performance is 'passable' - so please if you are going to compare the shows say Lithgow outsells Radcliffe on Broadway - and that should come as a shock to no one.



  48. 48

    Katie Holmes looks like an old woman with osteoporosis - stand up straight girl!!



  49. 49

    *I* don't want to see Harry Potter's wand, but you post his nudes at every opportunity. Stop it, Perez. Just stop. You're raping my second childhood here.



  50. 50

    I don't think its Radcliffe

    its Equus

    Have you read that shit? Its BORING AS HELL.



  51. 51

    to bad…im sure the play is gd



  52. 52

    when i went it was like half full, they let us move up our seats at the intermission bc it was so empty



  53. 53

    What is wrong with you people (including P. Hilton)? Any moron can look up the receipts themselves. The box office was down for the week ending 11/16, however, for the whole run the average capacity of the theater has been 71%! And, that's with the 5th highest average ticket price on Broadway right now - only Billy Elliot, Wicked, South Pacific and another musical that I can't remember have a higher average ticket price. Plus - Daniel Radcliffe has gotten rave reviews for his performance from the whole theater community, even where the overall review for the play itself has not been good. Plus, for those who are clueless about theater - he's not interested in being a sex symbol, his main concern is actually to be a great actor. From all accounts and interviews - he seems like a pretty level-headed, intelligent and nice kid. Yes . . . KID . . . he's only 19! Get a grip Perez, what is it about this kid that makes you want to attack him all the time (after the initial posts that made it seem you wanted to do something else to him)?

    I love Harry Potter's magic……Its fantastic……
