After some recent show closings, there are just 31 productions currently running on Broadway.

With Tom Felton continuing his role as Draco Malfoy, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” continues to top the list in the Million Dollar Club…and even the $2 Million Club; along with the award winning musical “Hamilton”.
