Broadway Box Office Jumps 13% as ‘Ragtime’ Breaks House Record

Broadway box office revenue surged by about 13% last week, reaching a total of $34,864,840, according to industry figures. Attendance rose 7% to 273,061, an 11% increase over the same week last season. Among the standout productions, 'Ragtime' broke its house record, grossing $1.6 million. The musical revival, playing at the Minskoff Theatre, drew packed houses. Meanwhile, 'Oh, Mary!' starring Meg Stalter continued its sell-out run, though exact grosses were not specified. The comedy has been a consistent hit since its opening. 'Cats: The Jellicle Ball' hit its highest grosses yet, with the reimagined production attracting strong audiences. The production, a dance-heavy reinterpretation, has seen growing popularity. In its final week of performances, 'Joe Turner’s Come and Gone' also reached a new high, closing on a strong note. The August Wilson revival had been well-received critically. Overall, 30 productions were running, with many seeing gains. The previous week had seen a dip, but the rebound was driven by several high-grossing shows. The increase over last season’s same week indicates a healthy start to the fall theater season. No further breakdowns by show were provided beyond those mentioned. The figures come from the Broadway League, which tracks box office data weekly.
