Broadway Box Office Stumbles During July 4th Holiday Week, With Star Absences Hitting ‘Gypsy’, ‘Call Me Izzy’ & ‘Death Becomes Her’
Broadway wilted a bit in last week's summer heat, with 23 of 30 shows taking a hit at the box office, some significantly.
No doubt playing a part in Broadway’s overall decline last week was the July 4th holiday – all productions but one canceled performances on that day (no competing with those fireworks), which was a Friday this year. Sell-outs for the week included Hadestown, Hamilton, John Proctor is the Villain, Just in Time, Maybe Happy Ending, The Outsiders and Wicked. Coming close with at least 97% of seats filled were& Juliet, Buena Vista Social Club, Operation Mincemeat, Purpose, Sunset Blvd.
