With inflation, pretty much every show can break records. But something like Harry Potter or Hamilton are "impressive" in that they are able to command significantly higher prices. But when the normal top ticket price is in excess of $140, it isn't impressive.
Also, and not for nothing, the play is presented in two parts, so the price for anyone seeing it is automatically doubled. I imagine the producers of every show in town would love to find a way to make audiences buy tickets to TWO performances instead of one.
