Moulin Rouge! Hits New Box Office High

Moulin Rouge! The Musical achieved a spectacular final bow, topping the Broadway box office charts with a gross of $2,336,973 during the week ending August 30, 2026. This impressive figure represents the production's second-highest weekly gross in its seven-year history, fueled by the return of original Tony-winning cast member Aaron Tveit as Christian for the show's final two weeks.

The acclaimed musical also set the pace for average ticket prices, averaging $223.46, far surpassing other productions like Hamilton. Several other shows, including Hamilton and Oh, Mary!, also reported sell-out performances during this period. Meanwhile, Paranormal Activity enjoyed a strong opening week at the Wilson Theatre, indicating a potential hit.

Overall Broadway saw a slight dip in total grosses and attendance compared to the previous week, with 26 productions grossing $25,753,182. However, some shows like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child saw significant increases due to cast returns. Productions like The Rocky Horror Show and The Lion King experienced notable drops due to cast departures and the conclusion of special promotions, respectively.
