Mighty ‘The Wiz’ Skips Away With Hefty $2M In Weekly Ticket Sales – Broadway Box Office


Broadway seemed to take a breath last week as it eyes the fall season, with box office for the second full week of August down about 9%.

All but five of the 25 productions on the roster reported box office drops, the five trend-buckers being the ever-popular Moulin Rouge! (up $12,699 to$1,056,794, a Lyceum house record) and Cabaret(up $16,523 to$1,520,726), the steady-marching Suffs up $6,523 to$713,408), and, with the biggest increase in receipts, The Wiz, closing its hugely popular limited run with a jump of $261,849 to$1,945,288.
