Click below to access all the Broadway grosses from all the shows for the week ending 8/21/2022 in BroadwayWorld's grosses section.
Also, you will find information on each show's historical grosses, cumulative grosses and other statistics on how each show stacked up this week and in the past.
Worth noting that the big dip for Dear Evan Hansen is because the show was forced to cancel both performances on Saturday due to an issue with the Music Box's air conditioning units.
Truly blown away by how massive of a hit Into the Woods is. Makes my Sondheim heart full.
There have been rumors over the last few days that A Strange Loop has a yet-to-be-announced closing date to make room for Cabaret at the Lyceum. The show's current numbers make that a completely unsurprising rumor.
Honestly, even though it should run a lot longer and be much more of a success than the numbers are saying, I just want them to make it to the new year (Tickets are on sale through 1/15).
Into The Woods, meanwhile, continues to blow my mind and I feel like the prospect of an open ended run is looking better and better.

Not sure why, but Into the Woods has a ton of availability this week, particularly tomorrow, where the matinee is very undersold. Maybe summer vacations are ending and kids are going back to school, but I'll be curious to see if next week's grosses look noticeably different.

I'm both surprised and not surprised Sara is that major of a draw. She seems not well known out of our circle, and she's on Girls5Eva, which is only on Peacock. But also glad she's so well known.
I'll def. be interested to see the numbers after she leaves.
A Strange Loop is def. not surprising and given we are about to enter the doldrums of Fall, I expect to keep seeing the numbers dip.
I saw Into the Woods two weeks ago. The audience, though not racially diverse - alas - was very age diverse. Yes there were return fans there, but they didn’t own the audience.
when the lights came up after the finale, the entire audience was already on its feet. This was the first time I’ve ever seen the Steward get cheers!
In any case, I just talked to a friend who saw the show last night and he had the same report. Everybody was on their feet when the lights came up. This is atypical for most shows, and to be honest, unheard of for a Sondheim show, excluding first previews, openings or closings.
It’s easy to forget that word of mouth, and the outcome of entire sold out houses telling everyone they know to see it is what creates a genuine hit show.
I would also guess that half the audience was unfamiliar with most of the cast, and their replacements will probably sell more repeat buyers than lose sales to fans of departing cast members.
This is shaping up to be Sondheim’s biggest hit. I intend to be at the performance that marks the night when it surpasses AFTHOTWTTF as his longest running show.
Mr. Sondheim is absolutely getting his due. And you know it’s the very best memorial he would have wished for.

It's just so interesting that a bare bones revival is being his biggest hit. Instead of a lavish perfect production like the recent Company. Interesting!

Yes, I had forgotten about that. Clearly, most of the people who wanted to see this cast have already seen the show, but I still would have expected their final 2 weeks to be better sold than they are. I suppose a dip was inevitable, though, and it's available on TKTS for tonight and tomorrow's matinee.

I'm hoping it shows up on TKTS for tomorrows matinee. I'm going to see if on the board today for tomorrow and if not just check again in the morning.

Just like CHICAGO."
I spent a whole two minutes trying to figure out what the hell AFATDHDNDNAPTWWTOTTFFF meant. I finally realized the original poster was referring to FORUM. How was typing this easier than ANY OTHER OPTION??? lolol
Because Forum is the second funniest show to abbreviate that way. The first? ODPDMHYITCAIFSS. These are Broadway World chat board distinctions that we shouldn’t retire. Not to mention that you obviously had two minutes to figure it out. What about this one?

Never going to happen. We are still in the ‘major Sondheim fans’ phase.

Sara's been pretty well-known since around 2007 with the release of her second studio album. I remember she had a lot of fans at the company I worked for and that's how I was introduced to her. That second album brought her a #4 Billboard hit single (Love Song) and two Grammy nominations. Luckily for us, she's pretty into the Broadway thing, too!

The production was dark for the week. Back tonight."
They are not selling tickets again for the week Sept 5-12. Early during the run ,this was announced as one of the Jackman leaves of absence. Will it be dark again?
Hugh Jackman is expected to be attending the world premiere on September 7 of his new movie THE SON which will be in competition at the Venice film festival and is also scheduled at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) after its Venice screening. The film is shaping up to be one of the awards season major hopefuls, including acting honors for Jackman. Co-stars are Laura Dern, Vanessa Kirby, newcomer Zen McGrath & a role for Anthony Hopkins. It is a film adaptation of a celebrated play by Florian Zeller ( Oscar winner for Adapted Screenplay for The Father, same film which won Best Actor Oscar for Hopkins). Zeller's co-winner for The Father and collaborating with him again on The Son , is Christopher Hampton of Sunset Boulevard fame. Hampton is a a major presence in both the film and theatrical worlds'
