Broadway's fortunes continued an upswing last week, bringing in more than $30 million over the 26 shows currently running and getting a nearly 4% increase from the week previous. Almost a quarter of a million people saw a show last week—holiday theatregoing is officially underway.

The figures fell short of this same week last season by nearly 20%, but there were 9 (or 34%) more shows to choose from last year. The recently released demographic report for the 2022-2023 season showed that Broadway still has work ahead to fully recover from the pandemic, so producers will be looking to see the current upward trend continue—and become more steep—at the box office in the weeks ahead.

As for how individual shows fared, it was mostly business as usual last week, with The Lion King, Wicked, Merrily We Roll Along, Sweeney Todd, and Hamilton taking the top five spots. That cumulative gain seems to be spread among all 26 currently running shows, with well more than half in The $1 Million Club this week and even more in The 90s Club.
