It was a busy and profitable week on Broadway last week with three shows topping the million dollar mark and one of them bringing in $4 million!
And with 31 shows running, box office receipts topped $39 million getting the unofficial start to the holiday season off to a roaring start.
The return of Leslie Odom Jr to the Lin-Manuel Miranda musical “Hamilton” has proven to be a boom for the show who after a few weeks of toying with the mark, has hit $4 at the box office – a mark the show has not seen since 2018.
“Death Becomes Her” saw its biggest box office week with a draw of over a million and a half.
The Million Dollar Club saw a big jump last week with 21 of the 31 shows reaching the million dollar mark.
