Performances were completely sold out, with the average paid admission at a hefty $149.34.
"The Snow Geese" Begins Previews
The new play The Snow Geese, produced by the Manhattan Theatre Club and starring Mary-Louise Parker, saw fairly good attendance in its first week, filling to 81.10% capacity. But the average ticket price was quite low at just $54.20.
