Overview

- Hamilton was the top grosser at roughly $2.54 million after Christopher Jackson returned to the original role, lifting the show's take by about $350,000 from the prior week.
- Average paid admission across Broadway dropped to $111.74 and average capacity was about 90.1 percent, effects that industry trackers linked to the NYC Broadway Week buy-one-get-one promotion and holiday timing.
- Chicago posted a roughly $180,000 gain to just under $1 million after Reece Weaver’s Broadway debut pushed the revival to roughly full capacity.
- Previews for School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play played to 97 percent capacity and will open Sept. 28, a reminder that fall previews and casting moves are reshaping weekly box-office volatility and demand.
