- Hamilton grossed $3,090,634 to top all 29 Broadway productions, with Deadline citing the return of original cast member Christopher Jackson as a catalyst for the show's weekly haul
- Other Desert Cities, the Jon Robin Baitz revival starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Joe Keery and Lily Rabe, grossed $2,157,355 and sold out all eight preview performances at the Hudson Theater
- A Few Good Men, Lincoln Center Theater's revival of Aaron Sorkin's courtroom drama starring Bradley Whitford alongside Tom Blyth and Krysta Rodriguez, sold out its first three previews for a $555,367 gross; official opening is October 29
- Billy Crystal's solo show 860, named for the Pacific Palisades home address lost in recent fires, grossed $1,173,760 across seven previews at the Imperial—filling 92% of seats, up from 83% the prior week
- Oh, Mary! with new title player Bowen Yang broke another Lyceum house record at $1,592,306, marking the 15th time the Cole Escola comedy has reset its own Lyceum record since opening in July 2024
- Top average ticket prices for the week went to Hamilton ($287.50), Other Desert Cities ($276.87) and Oh, Mary! ($222.73), against an overall average of $142.02 across the 29 shows
- Season-to-date grosses have hit $628.5 million in the 20th week of the 2026-27 season, but remain down roughly 8% from the same point last season, with attendance down 3% year-over-year
Why it matters: A surge of star-driven previews and tentpole returns drove last week's 27% gross jump, but Broadway's season-to-date receipts still trail the prior year by 8%—meaning producers and the Broadway League will need several more blockbuster weeks just to close the year-over-year gap by season's end.
