Overall industry gross dropped 12 percent from the prior week with average ticket price down $16 and attendance down just 2 percent, pointing to the higher ticket prices that week. Hamilton, which was the highest earner the prior week with a gross approaching $5 million, saw its grosses tumble $2 million to land at $2.8 million. This came as the show performed its first week since Sept. 9 without Leslie Odom Jr., who had led a grosses bump for the show. Attendance remained around 100 percent, but average ticket price dove to $258 from $454.

The play has been benefitting from the addition of Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the film series, to the cast. Wicked was the next highest earner with $2.7 million, followed by The Lion King with $2.4 million and Chess with $1.9 million. Majorie Prime, a futuristic play starring June Squibb, Cynthia Nixon and Danny Burstein, opened at the Hayes Theater on Dec. 9 to largely positive reviews. Leading up to opening, which included a number of comped tickets for press previews, the play upped its capacity to 93 percent and saw grosses increase to $283,007 as the show also upped its number of performances to seven from six. Among the lower earners, Beetlejuice, which is playing the Palace Theatre on its third return to Broadway, saw its capacity drop down to 57 percent from 63 percent the prior week. Grosses also fell to $624,785 from $792,258 during Thanksgiving week. And while The Queen of Versailles only saw its grosses dip slightly from the prior week, the musical moved up its closing date to Dec. 21 from Jan. 4. The Kristin Chenoweth-led show brought in $694,724 last week and capacity fell slightly to 74 percent at the St. James Theatre.
