Broadway box office stayed slim last week, with a total gross of $18,496,689 holding even with the previous week, and total attendance of 162,566 rising a small 4%.Granted, the totals reflect a smaller roster of 25 productions (compared to 27 the previous week), so the tallies indicate some improvement on a per-show basis.

And last week – the week ending Jan. 16 – saw no Covid cancellations, a positive sign after weeks of disruption.Still, the total attendance figure represents just 66% of all available seats, a fairly negligible improvement over the previous week’s dismal figure.

The average ticket price on Broadway was $114, down from the previous week’s $116 and off considerably from the pre-holiday averages in the upper $120s.Season to date, Broadway has grossed $387,553,775, with total attendance of 3,075,753 at about 80% of capacity.The Broadway League is not releasing box office numbers for individual shows this season, in a break with tradition, so the exact impact of audience declines on each particular production is unverifiable.Productions reporting performances on Broadway during the week ending Jan.
