[Broadway Grosses w/e 4/10/2022] It’s the final countdown!
With two weeks left in the 2021-2022 season, Spring has most definitely sprung on Broadway. And the countdown to the Tony Awards has begun!
Last week Take Me Out and Birthday Candles officially opened and we welcomed Beetlejuice back on Broadway.
Also, last week, Broadway grossed $28.3mm and averaged 86.24% capacity.
If we look at past seasons’ trends, could we be just a few days away from a spike in gross ticket sales?
