Moulin Rouge! continues to pack audiences in at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, with the musical hitting 100 percent capacity and making 92.93 percent of its gross potential with $1,630,284 in the week ending February 9.
The musical opened July 25, 2019, and has continuously performed well at the box office on a week-by-week basis through the fall and winter, when grosses are generally lower ahead of the spring season leading up to the Tony Awards.
The new revival of the cult favorite grossed enough in its first incomplete week of previews to land it in the top five highest grossers in a full week.
Starring Bobby Cannavale, Neil Patrick Harris, and James Corden, the revival was among the top five highest grossers last week in its first full week of performances.
