[Broadway Grosses w/e 7/24/2022] From Hawkins to Broadway

We said ‘happy trails’ to The Minutes over the weekend.

Gaten Matarazzo (of “Stranger Things”) returned to Broadway this week in Dear Evan Hansen. And consequently that Broadway musical’s grosses increased over the week prior. Are the two connected?

The top 10 grossing shows from the week ending in 7/24/22 include The Music Man, The Lion King, Hamilton, Into the Woods, Wicked, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Aladdin, MJ The Musical, SIX, and Moulin Rouge! The Musical.
