With two weeks left in its 35-year Broadway run, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera posted a huge box office gross last week of $3,247,106, nearly 10% of Broadway’s total take for the seven-day period ending April 2.
The beloved musical – which, Lloyd Webber has suggested, might well find its way back to Broadway at some point in the future – also topped the Broadway roster in average ticket price ($248.57) and top premium price ($697).
There wasn’t even a close second – Hamilton was the runner-up, with an average ticket price of $186.11 and a top premium of $449.
Phantom will depart the Majestic Theatre, its longtime Broadway home, on April 16. More recent Broadway arrivals – much more recent – also did some brisk springtime business, with Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street selling out its seven performances for the week with a $1,734,930 take; and Parade a virtual sell-out (99.3% of capacity) with receipts of $1,158,493.
