Hannah Montana’s hold on the ticketing industry appears to be loosening. She slips to number four on the Top Events chart and relinquishes her reign over the Top Concerts rankings this week.
Young Frankenstein takes several giant steps into the Top Events. Short of glowing reviews, the show has everything going for it — lead Roger Bart is back with the cast recovered from his injury, the production raised its curtain for its official opening night, and with the majority of Broadway dark, it’s one of only a handful of shows theatergoers can attend.

The Kentucky Derby races into the Sports rankings this week. The event finishes eighth although it is not scheduled to occur until May of 2008.

Touring productions of Broadway shows such Wicked, Jersey Boys, and Lion King may keep those top-sellers in the Theatre rankings next week, but with the threat of the road shows likewise being shut down, big changes in the charts may be in store.

This week’s NYC Theatre rankings experience their last bit of normalcy for what looks to be awhile. As the Broadway stagehands’ strike enters day five, most of this week’s top productions are now dark.
