With the plug pulled on its Saturday night, Broadway got zinged with a 10% tumble at the box office last week. While other factors entered the equation – there were three fewer shows on the boards than the previous week – the cancellation of 26 individual performances due to the Manhattan blackout no doubt took a hefty toll.
In all, the 30 productions grossed $30,566,474 for Broadway’s Week 7 (ending July 14), compared to the previous week’s $34M. Attendance was 243,260, a 16% drop from the previous week.
Helping keep the slide less steep was Dave Chappelle, whose stand-up comedy show at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre added $1,431,451 to the tally. Chappelle performed four shows of his two-week, 10-show stint, and though attendance was at 98%, the $1.4M gross was only 68% of potential.
