The Boys in the Band, the first Broadway show to open during the 2018-19 season, has also become the first to recoup its investment, according to a show spokesperson. The $3.5 million production, directed by Joe Mantello, made its money back in 11 weeks, with four weeks left in the engagement.
The recoupment came during Week 7 of the current Broadway season as Broadway overall raked in $37,330,028, a solid 10% gain over the previous week when Fourth of July fireworks and holiday celebrations may have distracted attention from the stage. This week’s box office hit about 86% of potential for the 31 shows.
Paid attendance for Week 7, ending July 15, was at 280,463, 92% of capacity, with the average buyer paying $133.
The figures reflect a considerable jump over last year’s Week 7, which included the July 4 holiday. Last year the week took $29M, with attendance at 256,171.
