[Broadway Grosses w/e 5/1/2022] Rise up
The Broadway industry has seen a dip in gross revenue and in capacity last week. In the week ending May 1, the grosses were just over $29MM with a 74.72% capacity. This is a 9.01% difference in capacity and a $5.1MM difference in grosses.
As I predicted here last year, I believe we’re going to see Broadway rise up very very soon.
Check out the grosses for the week ending in May 1, 2022.
