Broadway Shatters Records with $55.8 Million Holiday Week

Wicked leads the charge, grossing $5 million in a historic nine-performance week, while illness disrupts Gypsy's debut run.

Wicked grossed $5.03 million in a single week, setting a new Broadway record, thanks to a ninth performance and high ticket demand fueled by the movie adaptation's popularity.
The Lion King, Aladdin, and The Great Gatsby also posted record-breaking grosses, with The Lion King earning $4.2 million in nine performances.
Broadway's total holiday week gross reached $55.8 million, a 23% increase from the same period last year, with 97% of seats filled across all shows.
Illness forced Gypsy to cancel seven of its eight planned performances during its first full week post-previews, resulting in a steep drop in revenue to $280,095 for the week.
Broadway's 2024-2025 season has seen a 16% increase in both grosses and attendance compared to last year, signaling a strong post-pandemic recovery.
