Broadway Box Office Explodes with Star Power!

Broadway experienced a dramatic 27 percent increase in grosses last week, fueled by several prominent celebrity-led productions. "Other Desert Cities," featuring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Allison Janney, Ed Harris, and Joe Keery, was a major draw, selling out its eight performances and grossing $2.1 million with an average ticket price of $277. "A Few Good Men," starring Bradley Whitford and Tom Blyth, also began its previews to full houses at the Vivian Beaumont Theater, taking in $555,367. Billy Crystal's one-man show, "860," continued its successful run with $1.2 million across seven performances. "Hamilton" once again led the week's highest earners with $3 million, followed by "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" and "The Lion King." "Oh, Mary!," with Bowen Yang, set a box office record at the Lyceum Theatre, grossing $1.59 million. The robust performance contributed to a 10 percent overall increase in industry attendance.
