Broadway edged up 3.67% to $25.75M as the late-summer market stabilized across 26 productions, though the week’s most significant story was the closing of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, which ended its run at the Al Hirschfeld on August 30 with a strong final week of $2.34M at over 100% capacity. The year-over-year comparison remains pressured by show count — down 15.92% versus the same week last season — though that gap is largely explained by the calendar shift of Labor Day weekend, which fell in this week last season but will fall in week 15 this year. Hamilton led all continuing shows at $2.01M at just over 100% capacity, while Harry Potter and the Cursed Child had the week’s most striking move, surging $708K to $1.58M. The Lion King eased to $1.59M, and MJ held near 98% capacity at $1.68M. Paranormal Activity opened at the August Wilson on August 25, grossing $736K in its first full performance week.

Among other notable performances, Titanique climbed $88K to $903K, The Great Gatsby ticked up to $835K, and Schmigadoon! held near $940K. Wicked stayed steady at $1.11M, and The Outsiders rebounded $73K to $835K. Kids’ Night on Broadway took place this week, with 22 shows participating. Season-to-date grosses stand at $463M, running 5.76% behind last season — a gap that continues to reflect the leaner summer roster more than underlying demand.
