The Top Six drive spotlighted captivating elements of the musical, achieving an astonishing open rate of 42.8% and an impressive click-through rate of 18%. These results underscore the effectiveness of targeted email marketing in capturing interest and driving action among theater enthusiasts.
All of TheaterMania’s tactics outpaced industry standards, eliciting remarkable impressions and click-throughs.

Notably, the Facebook campaign alone boasted an impressive 63,000 impressions and achieved an outstanding click-through rate of 4.30%, far exceeding the benchmark of 1.87%.
Owing to TheaterMania’s commitment, the musical witnessed groundbreaking outcomes, both in volume and value of tickets sold. Tickets sold through TheaterMania averaged $122.96—$24 higher than industry averages—while weekly incremental revenue increased by $13K–$20K. Comparisons with other shows nominated for Best Musical further highlight the production’s outstanding performance. Weekly average ticket sales surged, resulting in additional revenue of approximately $13,000 to $20,000 per week.
