Broadway in March

March is almost at the end, and looking back on the past month there are several musicals that continue to stand head and shoulders above the rest on the Broadway stage (as of March 22). At the top of the list, of course, is the hit musical Wicked, with $1,444,495 in ticket sales. The next biggest seller is Billy Elliot: the Musical with ticket sales of $1,188,954, it is followed by The Lion King with sales of $1,128,139. Other shows continuing to make over a million on Broadway are Jersey Boys at $1,032,100 and West Side Story which made $1,004,497. Broadway tickets are a great way to enjoy some fantastic theater whether you are a resident of New York, or simply visiting for a time.

There are several shows that are continuing to show to a house at full or nearly full capacity, though they are not reaching the million-dollar amount in sales. Among these are: Guys and Dolls with sales of $684,190 at 100% capacity,  Mama Mia! with $882,929 at 98% capacity, Rock of Ages with sales of $229,602 at 99%, South Pacific with sales of $889,051, The Phantom of the Opera with $834,070 at a capacity of 100%.  Still others are selling to a theatre at 90% capacity or more, these include Chicago with sales of $592,621 at 91% capacity, Hair with sales of $660,599 at 90%, In the Heighs with $831,073 in sales playing to 94% capacity, Mary Poppins selling $797,511 at 93%, and The Little Mermaid selling $720,697 to a theatre at 90% capacity.
