Top-Grossing Productions of the Week

The numbers are out for ticket sales during the last week of October on Broadway, and it should be no surprise to theatergoers that, once again, Wicked takes the top honors, grossing $1,489,598 for the week ending Nov. 1. Wicked outsold all other Broadway productions last week, keeping the exciting musical atop the most popular Broadway shows currently on the scene. Now playing at the Gershwin, Wicked’s numbers are down from $1,525,772 the previous week, but its numbers are still good enough to hold weight above the rest.

Other productions grossing more than $1 million last week also included Billy Elliot: The Musical at the Imperial ($1,357,268), A Steady Rain at the Schoenfeld ($1,187,455), The Lion King at the Minskoff ($1,136,368) and Jersey Boys at August Wilson ($1,112,351). The Broadway numbers for the week combined for a grand total of $18,302,315, down from $20,654,738 total the previous week but still holding on strong through ticket sales. What will November bring to the Broadway realm? Stay tuned to find out, as there are several exciting productions gracing the stages in New York City this month!
