Do you mean on Broadway? They already kind of revisited with the version they premiered that's now available for licensing through MIT (https://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000389) so I don't know if they'll end up bringing it back.Atlantica wrote:With all this shows success, I hope Disney revisits Mermaid sooner rather than later
How is it doing comparatively to Mermaid as well, money / tickets - wise?
And big time congrats to everyone for the Tony nominations!

The Little Mermaid picked up steam in March/April, probably due to spring breaks, and usually sold 10,000-12,000 seats up through September of 2008. You can tell when schools were back in session because it went from selling 12,134 seats the week of August 31st to 8,416 seats the week of September 7th! And remained between 8,000-10,000 for almost the rest of the year, with a few weeks that saw spikes upwards of 11,000+. (Weekend of Thanksgiving and weekend of Christmas.) It wavered between 8,000-10,000 up until April of 2009, when it picked up steam again and hovered between 10,000-12,000 with occasional lower weeks up until closing in August of 2009.
It's hard to say which is/will be more successful because it's so early in the game for Aladdin. Right now it is among the top 5 grossing shows on Broadway, which is definitely something!
