With the 2024/25 Broadway season over, with more shows closing as theatres make room for the new season. “The Picture of Dorian Gray” closed last week…and on a high note with standing room only crowds; as well as, “Dead Outlaw”, “Real Women Have Curves”, “Glengarry Glen Ross”, and Stephen Sondheim’s “Old Friends”.
Sixteen of the 35 shows running made it into the $1 Milliam Dollar Club last week with the top four reaching over $2 Million.
As more shows close, the box office numbers will drop; five more shows are set to close this week.
But beginning next month new shows will begin filling houses all across Broadway…including a long rumoured revival by a certain musical spirit of Gaston Leroux and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber fame.
