Broadway’s Record-Breaking Thanksgiving Weekend
Broadway had quite the Thanksgiving weekend.
FOX’s Jacquelyn Karl reports:
Some broke bread on Thanksgiving, Broadway broke all records! After a so-so autumn, theater goers made a beeline to Broadway Thanksgiving weekend making Great White Way history with 34 shows collectively taking in just over $35 million.
Leading the way was “Hamilton”… Beating record-holder “Wicked”… for highest gross in a single week with just north of $3 million.
The average ticket price jumped to $303 per seat, spurred on by the planned increase of premium tickets to $998, the highest in history.
