Broadway business was off about 13% last week (from the previous week and from last season at this time) – maybe Halloween Saturday pulled away some attention? – with total box office for the 33 shows hitting $29,572,284. Attendance for the week ending November 1 was 251,700 , down 4% from the previous week and 9% year-to-year.
Most shows – 26 of the 33 – reported downturns, some considerable in the six figures. Both & Juliet and The Outsiders were down by more than $300,000 from the previous week (to, respectively, $610,232 and $605,946 ).
Still, four shows managed to buck the trend and sell out:
Other Desert Cities also topped the ticket price roster, with its average paid attendance at a hefty $301.23 . Only two other productions topped the $200 mark: Much Ado About Nothing ( $238.36 ) and Hamilton ( $218.03 ). The overall average paid admission for the 33 shows was $117.49.
Three other shows were in previews last week:
Billy Crystal’s 860 had three heavily comped press performances but still pulled in a strong $1,353,611 for seven performances. Attendance was at 99%.
In the 23rd week of the 2026-27 season, Broadway has grossed $726,010,709 season-to-date, down about 8% from last year at this time, with total attendance of 5,929,169 down 3% year-to-year.
