Broadway box office was up about 16% last week, with three new productions joining the playing roster and all 30 of the shows taking in a combined $22,855,192.
The figure, which represents box office grosses for the week ending Nov. 7, indicates an expected rebound from the $20 million tally of the previous week, which included Halloween – a traditionally slow night for Broadway venues.
In all, the 30 productions had a combined paid attendance of 193,309, about 82% of total capacity. The previous week’s attendance was 78% of capacity.
Three productions are new to the roster: Clyde’s, Diana and the returning The Book of Mormon.
The average Broadway ticket price last week was $118.
The season-to-date box office (since Aug. 4) for all Broadway shows is $147,978,978, with total attendance at 1,174,745 (84% of capacity).
