Overview
- Broadway grosses fell about 8% to $37.31 million and total attendance slipped to 320,908 for the week ending Sunday, May 31, according to The Broadway League.
- Mariska Hargitay made her Broadway debut in Every Brilliant Thing and drew the Hudson Theatre to roughly 97% capacity, producing a $1.135 million week in the first week after Daniel Radcliffe’s departure.
- The Book of Mormon resumed at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre after the May 4 fire and grossed roughly $650,000 on its first seven return performances at about 86% capacity.
- Several Tony-nominated shows reported sellouts for the week ending May 31, with Death of a Salesman, Ragtime, and The Rocky Horror Show posting strong grosses as interest built ahead of the June 6 Tony Awards.
- The 2025–26 season still closed near $1.91 billion, but producers are relying more on short celebrity engagements to drive spikes in revenue and to offset rising production costs, a pattern that creates sharp week-to-week volatility.
