By Ken Davenport

Broadway eased 3.76% to $33.96M as attendance actually rose to 259,164 at nearly 95% capacity across 30 productions, with the post-Columbus Day pullback in average ticket price accounting for most of the gross decline. Hamilton led all shows at $2.78M at just over 101% capacity, while Other Desert Cities officially opened at the Hudson on October 18 to a sold-out house at $1.82M. The Lion King held near $2.02M, and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child pulled back sharply to $1.23M. Oh, Mary! remained a steady presence near $1.53M at 100% capacity, and MJ held just under $1.76M. Just in Time crossed 102% capacity at $1.04M, and A Few Good Men had a striking preview week at the Beaumont, grossing $1.25M at a sold-out house.

Chicago held just over 101% capacity at $1.17M, and The Great Gatsby held near $1.16M at nearly 93% capacity. Hadestown crossed 100% capacity at $1.05M, and Paranormal Activity showed strength at $1.05M near full capacity. The Outsiders held $1M, and The Rocky Horror Show held steady at $1.04M. Season-to-date grosses stand at $662M, running 7.81% behind last season — a gap that continues to narrow relative to show count.
