Ten inches of snow and freeze-your-assets-off temperatures stung Broadway over the weekend, forcing cancellations and box office drops for some shows by the hundreds of thousands of dollars. In all, 10 of the 31 Broadway productions canceled at least one weekend performance due to the weather…

Broadway box office pretty much held steady last week with the 31 productions more or less settling into the post-holiday/pre-spring groove, though there was one big exception: Proving the star power of Jonathan Groff (as if proof were necessary), the weekly gross for Just in Time took a walloping…

Broadway box office was solid and clear-headed last week after the previous week’s lucrative holiday-fueled numbers, with receipts for the 31 productions settling at a solid $34,320,229. That’s a 34% drop from the week that contained New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day Attendance for the week…

Broadway welcomed the New Year with reason for high spirits as the 33 productions grossed an impressive total of $52,037,125. Some 24 of the shows were sell-outs (or within a fraction) and only one filled fewer than 90% of their available seats. More on that later. While the $52M mark is a 4%…

Broadway’s Stranger Things: The First Shadow saw a jump in attendance and grosses last week, no doubt spurred by the hoopla generated by last month’s highly rated arrival of the TV series’ Season 5. For the week ending December 14, the Broadway prequel filled about 99% of seats at the Marquis, up…

Broadway’s Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, revitalized by the recent casting of the film franchise’s Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy, once again topped the box office roster with a magical gross of $2,939,627, outpacing even the final (partial) week of Leslie Odom Jr.’s hugely successful limited return…

Ragtime opened at Broadway’s Vivian Beaumont last week to strong reviews and solid box office, supporting new Lincoln Center theater artistic director Lear deBessonet’s judgement in opening her inaugural season with this soul-stirring revival. The weekly gross for the non-profit production was no…

A quartet of fall season arrivals began previews on Broadway last week, helping to boost the total 31-show gross to $39,416,736, a 25% jump over the previous week when there were 27 shows. And as if to show the newcomers what success looks like, Hamilton, in its 10th year on Broadway, scored its…

Ragtime was a sell-out, Waiting For Godot approached the $2 million mark and Hamilton once again broke the $3 million mark in an overall hold-steady week on Broadway. In total, the 27 Broadway shows grossed $31,428,040 for the week ending October 5 (which included the Yom Kippur holiday), just…
