Art, the play revival starring James Corden, Neil Patrick Harris and Bobby Cannavale, brought in $1.2 million in its first week of eight performances.
The total made the show the fifth highest grossing show in the industry last week. The play is still in previews and set to open at the Music Box Theatre on Sept. 16. The show played to 97 percent capacity, with an average ticket price of $162. The price point puts it in the upper set of shows, but still comes in far below the musical Just In Time, a biomusical about Bobby Darin and starring Jonathan Groff, which continues to sell well with an average ticket price of $214.
John Proctor Is the Villain finished its Broadway run Sept. 7, and brought in $1.05 million, the second highest gross of its run, coming in just behind the total for Sadie Sink’s last week in the show. The show, which opened April 14 and was nominated for seven Tonys including best play, played to more than 100 percent capacity at the Booth Theatre. Scott Rudin’s Little Bear Ridge Road takes over the theater next.
Cabaret saw its grosses fall to $380,000 last week, marking its lowest grossing week on Broadway since starting previews in April 2024. On Sunday, the production announced that it would be closing Sept. 21, several weeks earlier than planned, as lead Billy Porter has withdrawn from the show due to a “serious case of sepsis” and as grosses had been trending downwards. Understudies are set to play the role of the Emcee until closing.
Hamilton was the top grossing show in the industry last week, again besting Wicked, which has held the top spot for months. Hamilton, which has been in the midst of celebrating 10 years on Broadway as well as the theatrical release of the film, brought in $2.1 million.
Wicked was in second place with $2 million, followed by Mamma Mia with $1.5 million, The Lion King with $1.45 million and Art.
