Broadway Bounces Back as Hamilton and New Hits Dominate the Stage
30 Sep
Summary
- Hamilton tops Broadway with $3.8M in sales last week
- New play 'Art' starring celebrity cast ranks 3rd in sales
- Ragtime revival begins previews at Vivian Beaumont Theatre
In the Broadway landscape as of late September 2025, one musical continues to dominate the stage: Hamilton. The hit show, which recently welcomed back star Leslie Odom Jr. to the role of Aaron Burr, brought in a staggering $3.8 million in sales last week, cementing its position as the top-grossing production.
Alongside Hamilton's ongoing success, several new entries have also made a splash on the Great White Way. The play Art, starring a celebrity cast including James Corden, Neil Patrick Harris, and Bobby Cannavale, jumped into the top five highest-grossing shows, raking in $1.7 million across eight performances and boasting an average ticket price of $205 with 100% capacity.
Another high-profile production, Waiting for Godot, starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, also performed well, bringing in $1.6 million last week despite mixed reviews from critics. Meanwhile, the much-anticipated revival of Ragtime began previews at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre, earning just over $450,000 across three performances with an average ticket price of $142.94 and 100% capacity.
Overall, the Broadway landscape in late September 2025 is marked by a resurgence of both established hits and exciting new entries, signaling a vibrant and dynamic theater scene.
