Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/2/26

We officially hit our summer peak the week before. The star-led limited runs from the spring have ended / are about to end, and some schools just got back in session. Numbers will soon plunge across the board, with some usual exceptions.

Happy trails to Drew Gehling over at & JULIET; four ensemblists also notably departed RAGTIME two weeks early.

I'm pretty pleased by the overall % cap numbers... just goes to show there seems to be a limit as to how much everyone (even the richest of the rich) can spend for something like live theatre, especially in the current economic climate.

He'll be out these next couple of weeks too.

Just insane for Salesman and Ragtime. Very impressive for Jellicle Ball too but too little, too late.

Every Brilliant Thing is doing a bit better as it heads to closing. Glad to see it because Tracee Ellis Ross is really wonderful in it.

Just in Time is looking pretty weak. If they don't have someone new lined up after JJ, we could be reaching the end of the road with that show.

That's a new all-time high for The Lost Boys

These were the numbers that CATS probably would’ve been pulling if they took the big prize over RAGTIME. It’s amazing what announcing a closing notice and the proceeding to gouge people on all the remaining tickets will do to boost your numbers.

Surprised Two Strangers hasn't announced a closing date yet.


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I'm so happy to see Cats: The Jellicle Ball in the Million Dollar Club, even if the reason is sad.

I just don't think this is true. Would the Tony for best revival really have amounted to much higher ticket numbers? We know it didn't help Sunset Boulevard or Company.

No.

This CATS thrived on scarcity as much as incredible reviews and word of mouth. Even if it would have settled for an open-ended Off-Broadway run somewhere, I can't imagine there would've been a collective urgency to see it there either.

Hard to say with Sunset because she also won Best Actress and it was a limited run anyway. But it did make a ton of money it's last few weeks. So it did help.

It's not true in any capacity. The correct show won for Revival, it's been far more popular for nearly a year, and it actually made money. The sad obsession makes these people delusional, it seems.

Re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/2/26

Arguably, SUNSET and COMPANY both had fall openings and had already run quite some time by the time awards season happened. COMPANY also had COVID to contend with as well with cancelled performances leading to issues.

I grow weary of being called delusional for thinking that CATS deserved Best Revival because it did a wholesale reinvention of an offbeat, yet somehow classic musical that was engaged and remarkable in scope. RAGTIME threw a concert on stage and added a few more props. Well-sung, but did nothing to wow me. (Worth noting that the only Tony I agree with RAGTIME getting was Joshua Henry because, good lord, he carried that whole show on his shoulders

Re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/2/26

Sunset did boffo box office after its Tony wins; it just coincided with its hard end date after months of soft box office. (Though I think that Nicole’s win likely sparked that box office rush than its revival win).

Re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/2/26

There are a lot of Broadway musicals that are more than a year old that are in the $650K to $800K range:

& Juliet: $781K

Operation Mincemeat: $697K

Maybe Happy Ending: $726K

Just in Time: $720K

Buena Vista Social Club: $718K

They are in different places in terms of running costs and whether they have recouped but I was curious if any of them are looking better than others or have stronger outlooks. Are any of these shows making money week-to-week now?

Re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/2/26

@quizking101 wrote that Cats was "GOUGING" people on remaining tix--really!?!?! Tix are NON-essential, so NO "gouging". And most theatregoers thought CATS:JB was non-essential; that's why it's closing. For all but the last few weeks, discount tix were avail EVERYWHERE. Good on the producers for raising prices in hopes of reducing the losses for their investors!!

@Sutton Ross commented that RAGTIME "actually made money"--says who?! Producers I spoke with said that Ragtime, despite the great/enviable grosses, will STILL LOSE money for LCT. I do not know if LCT, or any other non-profit, is eligible for the NY rebate. Of course, it is possible that the producers I spoke with are wrong.

This falls squarely within my area of ignorance. Doesn’t Ragtime fall into the netherworld of shows at nonprofits that continue as commercial ventures? I don’t know how the finances work. Did it change after January?

The decline for JUST IN TIME is so interesting to me. With Groff in the show, they never dipped below a million aside from the initial preview weeks. They had their best week ever, hitting more than $2 million, during Groff's final week. The week that immediately followed Groff's depature saw a huge dip - it was their worst week ever at that point, dropping into 700ks, and they have stayed mostly in the 700s and 800s since then, with a few weeks notably worse than that. Grosses have not gone back above a million one single time with either Morrison or Jordan.

I know that Groff has a very large following in the theatre community, and is somewhat known from his TV roles, but he certainly isn't a household name in much of America. I continue to be surprised that the show did so much better with him in it, and had such an immediate and obvious drop off once he left.

Hi, Bear882! What you said re; the commercialization of Ragtime's extension--perhaps that is what the producers were talking about--i really didnt pursue that line of questioning. Sorry, I cant give a better answer

I have seen rumors online that Whitney Leavitt may be going into "Just in Time"

I think it started by her posting a video with what appears to be singing a song that we cannot hear. Some have guessed is from "Just in Time" If that's the case, based on her numbers over at "CHICAGO", then we're about to see a box office resurgence of JIT.

Just In Time played at 95% of capacity at the 10th highest average ticket price out if 30 shows. That is pretty good. If that is not reasonably above breakeven, then the producers really took some huge risks in opening the show in the first place. They gambled -- and fortunately won -- that JG would command mega-ridiculous prices for his entire run, particularly the last month or so. You may be right in your assessment, but I just can't help thinking that 95% capacity at the 10th highest out of 30 ATP, for a show that i assume has already returned its investment (though I am not positive) despite not receiving a Tony nomination for Best Musical should still be a cause for celebration.

To another poster re CATS, I am in the camp that believes that a Tony win for /best Revival has little impact on the box office. I am squarely in the camp that believes that dynamic pricing allowed the producers to raise prices for the limited remainder of the run, and there were enough people who had the funds and were willing to spend them for the remaining scarcity of performances. A Tony win was not going to get tourists into that theatre, particularly if they saw the number chosen frr the Tony Awards.

Oh it absolutely has been a huge success. I'm not saying otherwise. I thought it would end when Groff left and it's managed to soldier on for awhile now, which is impressive. I just think it's starting to lose steam with these numbers through the summer and unless they have a big name ready to take over, this could be it. I also wouldn't be shocked if they try to get Groff to come back for a short run to close it out, whenever that may be.

When nonprofit Broadway productions convert to commercial runs, their costs increase substantially. All of the Broadway nonprofits run on modified LORT contracts, bringing with them much lower costs. However, the catch here is that they only enjoy that benefit for their originally scheduled run: if they extend beyond that, they must convert to the standard Production contract like every other Broadway show and lose the perks of being nonprofit. (Not sure how this affects the other union contracts, but the increase in talent costs alone will be substantial). Given Ragtime’s size, I would imagine this has meant that, even considering its success, it has likely only been marginally profitable week after week and will still be closing at a sizable loss this month.

If RAGTIME was making significant money, they would be keeping it open. LCT (or any non profit right now) is not in the position to be closing hits they could run.
