The one-person play, which involves a large degree of audience interaction, was the fourth highest grossing show in the industry last week, with the the highest average ticket price at $208.93. The show played to 100 percent capacity. Moulin Rouge! is still seeing elevated grosses thanks to the presence of Megan Thee Stallion in the cast, with the musical bringing in $1.64 million last week, as the fifth highest grossing show in the industry.

However, that trend may be short lived as Megan announced Monday that she will be leaving the show early, setting her final performance date for May 1. A replacement performer for the remainder of Megan’s run, from May 2 through May 17, has yet to be announced. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was the highest grossing show on Broadway last week, bringing in $2.3 million, followed by Hamilton with $1.94 million, and The Lion King with $1.89 million. Six more productions opened last week (Schmigadoon, The Balusters, Beaches, The Rocky Horror Show, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone and The Lost Boys), meaning that as of April 25, every production of the 2025-2026 season has opened on Broadway.

Tony nominations are scheduled to be announced May 5, which may also provide a boost to grosses. Among the new shows, Proof, starring Don Cheadle and Ayo Edebiri, continued to sell well, grossing $976,808 and playing to 98 percent capacity, as did Death of Salesman, starring Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf, which brought in close to $1.5 million and played to 90 percent capacity. Cats: The Jellicle Ball inched up its grosses tally, bringing in $1.6 million last week in its first week of eight regular performances and playing to 96 percent capacity. Beaches, The New Musical increased its capacity to 64 percent but still carries a low gross of $476,871, which it will need to increase to stay open.
