Tom Felton Lifts Cursed Child to $2.6 Million and Sellouts as Hamilton Tops the Week

The surge underscores how star casting is powering a season now running more than 10% ahead of last year.

Overview

  • Harry Potter and the Cursed Child jumped to roughly $2.6 million with Tom Felton's arrival, playing to 100 percent capacity and averaging about $228 per ticket, more than double the prior week.
  • Felton, reprising Draco Malfoy, is slated to remain with the production through May, and the show posted these gains during a planned seven-performance week that included a comped gala.
  • Hamilton led Broadway with about $3.8–$3.85 million, boosted by the limited return of original star Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr.
  • Chess grossed about $1.78–$1.79 million despite five heavily comped press performances and a fully comped opening night, landing among the week's top grossers.
  • Across Broadway, totals held near $40.2 million with about 89.6 percent capacity and a $135 average paid ticket, while The Great Gatsby rose by more than $200,000 to roughly $1.2 million as Jeremy Jordan returned.
