Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 2/26/23

Mixed grosses despite the holiday week. Sweeney Todd gonna end up grossing $2 million per week despite doing just 7 performances.



A BEAUTIFUL NOISE really needs a new discount code if they want to survive the rest of the winter.

Oh that Funny Girl, being funny again.

Solid numbers for SWEENEY, PARADE, BAD CINDY, DOLL'S HOUSE in their early preview weeks. Those latter 3 def have room for growth, but nobody should be complaining about starting at that level.

Re: the BEAUTIFUL NOISE comment, that may just be related to the show starting to exhaust the audience of loyal Diamond fans. Or classic winter doldrums. Time will tell.

It might be difficult for Sweeney Todd to make $2 million a week unless ticket sales rise further or an extra performance is added. If every day was like Sunday’s first preview, it would make about $1.8 million a week. That seems likely based on advanced sales for next couple of months. After that, we’ll see. The revival is obviously off to a strong start.

''A Beautiful Noise'' already going same route as ''Summer'', right? As been showing, ''& Juliet'' is the likely hit of this season.

I really hope ''A Doll's House'' can sustain or elevate these numbers, 800k for a play with so few actors and no sets? Very impressive, didn't knew Chastain had this power.

Definitely discounted but still pulling in more revenue per seat that Some Like It Hot.

The numbers originally said it made $900 some dollars and was at 670% capacity. We were just making jokes about it

Jessica Chastain is a huge star who has balanced prestige movies with notable limited series, and last year's reigning Best Actress winner. Her fans might be showing up early, but either way it's a great start. THE HEIRESS recouped despite some poor reviews, and she's arguably a bigger star now than she was in 2013. She is on a similar level as Adam Driver, Bryan Cranston, Hiddleston, Jake Gyllenhaal, Amy Schumer, and Andrew Garfield when they made their star turns on Broadway."

Garfield's, Hiddleston's, and Driver's last Bway shows didn't recoup so...

And when a star is out sick or on vacation, there's a much greater chance of the buyers keeping their tickets instead of refunding. So these aren't indicative of sales on Julie's name alone –– they're people thinking they'll see Lea (even if her vacation was announced, people don't read). Still great numbers...and those attendees get a splendid Fanny in Julie.

Fair point, I'll give you Hiddleston :) I probably shouldn't have used Garfield as example since his play was much more expensive and in two parts. And I believe Burn This DID recoup but didn't announce.

Um one is starring last year's Oscar winner.

“Beautiful Noise” should do at least 4-5 matinees a week.
