New York’s July heat wave is doing nothing to wilt the prospects of some recent Broadway arrivals, with four spring-summer arrivals filling each and every seat at their respective venues last week: Oh, Mary!, The Outsiders, Stereophonic and Hell’s Kitchen were sell-outs for the week ending July 14.
Long-runners Hadestown and Hamilton were SRO, as usual, grossing $825,070 and $1,922,308, respectively.
Oh, Mary!, the Cole Escola comedy that opened July 11 to across-the-board raves, grossed $667,143; The Outsiders was at $1,390,233; Stereophonic grossed $983,845; and Hell’s Kitchen was at $1,687,326.
Closing soon are:
- Home, the Roundabout’s well-reviewed Samm-Art Williams revival. Last week, a planned-seven performance week at the Todd Haimes grossed $133,600; closing July 21;
- The Who’s Tommy took in $772,892 at the Nederlander; closing July 21;
- Illinoise, which began an eight-performance schedule last week at the St. James, grossed $745,520; closing August 10;
- The Wiz grossed a magical $1,240,166 last week at the Marquis; closing August 18.
In all, the 26 Broadway productions grossed $29,845,592 for the week ending July 14, a drop of about 7% from the previous week when there were 27 shows on the boards. Attendance last week was 242,578.
