Play all audios:

Broadway box office held fairly steady for the theater season’s Week 39 (ending February 24), with most shows reporting some slippage. Total receipts for the 29 productions was $29.9


million, off a small 2% from the previous week. Attendance barely budged from the week prior, up less than a percentage point to 253,875.


Besides Kiss Me, Kate, other sold-out shows — or near enough, with attendance at 98% capacity or better — were Aladdin, Come From Away, Dear Evan Hansen, Frozen, Hamilton, Harry Potter and


the Cursed Child, Network, The Book of Mormon, The Lion King and To Kill a Mockingbird.


Season to date, Broadway has grossed $1,38 billion, a 15% jump year to year. Attendance of nearly 10.85 million is 12% above last season at this time.
