Hamilton is staying at the top of the industry box office charts, bringing in close to $3.6 million last week, as Leslie Odom Jr. continues in his role as Aaron Burr.
The numbers are slightly below the $3.8 million commanded last week, when Odom first returned to the role he originated. Still, the 10-year-old show is hitting numbers not normally seen outside of the lucrative holiday weeks, with an average ticket price of $335.14 and capacity above 100 percent.
Waiting for Godot, starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, brought in $1.8 million in its second week on Broadway, across just seven performances rather than the typical eight. The play, which is set to open at the Hudson Theatre on Sept. 28, had an average ticket price of $266.96, and played to 100 percent capacity. Just In Time, the best performing new musical of last season, hit the highest gross of its run last week, bringing in $1.3 million and playing to more than 100 percent capacity. The average ticket price for the Bobby Darrin musical, starring Jonathan Groff, hit $232.63, the third highest of the week behind Waiting for Godot and Hamilton.
In its closing week on Broadway, Cabaret saw its grosses increase slightly to reach $820,805, up close to $200,000 from the prior week, and saw capacity hit 97 percent, with the average ticket price nearing $100. However, these numbers are still below the $1 million highs early in the run. The show announced it would be closing a month early, on Sept. 21, after star Billy Porter had to withdraw from the production as he recovers from sepsis.
Wicked was still the second highest grossing show in the industry last week, bringing in $2 million, followed by Waiting For Godot, The Lion King, with $1.78 million, and Mamma Mia!, with $1.6 million.
The grosses report which is typically distributed on Tuesdays was delayed until Thursday this week due to Rosh Hashanah.
