Broadway Week has concluded and there are just 27 shows running, but that did not stop theater fans from flocking to the Great White Way last week. Two-thirds of the shows – 18 of the 27 – made it into the Million Dollar Club last week with the top three topping the $2 million mark.
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” continues to top the list with Tom Felton continuing in his role as Draco Mlafoy.
In second place, “Hamilton” continues to reap the benefits of Leslie Odam Jr’s return to the show last year to reprise his role as Aaron Burr.
And the spring season is about to begin with a whole new crop of productions on the way.
The Million Dollar Club:
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” – $2.68 million
“Hamilton” – $2.2 million
“Wicked” – $2.02 million
