  • Last week, which ended October 8 and included the Columbus Day holiday weekend, Broadway grosses totaled $30,239,540 for 29 shows.

    In the prior week, ended October 1, Broadway grosses totaled $23,206,324 for 24 shows.

    In the comparable week last year, Broadway grosses totaled $25,903,638 for 29 shows.




  • Bruce Springsteen, three other new shows and a Columbus Day holiday weekend resulted in a great week for Broadway. That holiday was also good for the family hits, especially The Lion King, Wicked and Aladdin.

    Broadway grosses were up 30% from the prior week. Attendance was up by 19% and, thanks to Mr. Springsteen, the average admission was $128.


    — As expected Bruce Springsteen sold out his engagement at the 939-seat Walter Kerr Theatre. His first 5 performances grossed $2,332,108. The average ticket price was a whopping $496.72. This figure dwarfed the usual #1 Hamilton’s average admission of $272.24

    — The Band’s Visit had its first (and only) preview at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Saturday night and sold out with a gross of $134,679. In a regular 8-performance week, that would multiply into a $1,077,432 gross. A good start.

    — M. Butterfly had its first two previews last week at the Cort Theatre and grossed $199,627 which was 82% of its potential gross.

    — The not-for-profit Junk at Lincoln Center Theater’s Beaumont played its first 4 previews and grossed $238,130 at considerable discounts for members. The telling number here is that only 71% of the seats were occupied, both paid and comped.




  • 1984 closed on Sunday at the Hudson Theatre after 38 previews and 125 regular performances. It did not recoup. Cumulative gross: $6,859,821 or 43% of its potential gross. The average ticket price during the run was $61 and the average attendance, paid and comped, was 71%. The play had its best showing last week with a gross of $490,658.
