Abstract

The paper with the possibility of predicting the outcomes of a cultural performance, namely a theatre one. The Lichtman method, developed for prediction the outcomes of the presidential elections in the U.S.A. by a set of predicates/questions with only two possible answers, was tested on two theatre shows, in order to predict their success in terms of audience.

The results of the prediction match the attendances of the respective performances. This indicates that the Lichtman method can be used for such predictions.
