Broadway took $29,572,284 across 33 productions in the week ending November 1, 2026, according to the Broadway League, 12.7 percent less than the same week last season, when 35 shows grossed $33,880,998.
Attendance fell by less than the money did. The League counted 251,700 admissions, down 9.3 percent on the 277,506 recorded in the week ending November 2, 2025, and 4.3 percent below the 262,928 of the previous week. The gross dropped 12.9 percent from the $33,966,016 taken in the week ending October 25, so the average paid per seat slid from about $129 to about $117 in a week whose Saturday was Halloween. Of the 32 productions that also played the week before, only six took more money.
The top gross went to a play. Other Desert Cities took $2,347,158 at the Hudson Theatre, up from $2,262,442 and $29,683 ahead of Hamilton, which grossed $2,317,475 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Both played to full houses.
The Rocky Horror Show, playing its Halloween week at Studio 54, was one of the six that rose, adding $79,088 to reach $970,053 at 97 percent of capacity.
At the Palace Theatre, The Lost Boys kept its audience almost exactly, 11,185 against 11,216 the week before, while its gross eased from $1,292,930 to $1,110,151: the market's week in miniature.
The Much Ado About Nothing revival at the Winter Garden Theatre gave its first preview, taking $358,262 from a single performance seen by 1,503 people.
Twenty-three weeks into the 2026-27 season, Broadway has grossed $726,010,709 and admitted 5,929,169 people across 709 playing weeks. For scale, the whole of the 2025-26 season came to about $1.91 billion and 14.58 million admissions.
All figures are from the weekly grosses published by the Broadway League.
