Among the most impressive box office developments last week was the welcome given to All In: Comedy About Love, based on the short stories of writer Simon Rich, read live by such performers as, initially, John Mulaney, Fred Armisen, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Richard Kind (the cast changes each week).
For the week ending December 15, All In grossed $1,046,514 for five previews. The Hudson Theatre was sold out for the week with a hefty average ticket price of $216.22.
Also doing its best to impress the holiday gods was Elf, joining the rarified $2 million club with a gross of $2,033,784, with 94% of seats at the massive Marquis occupied.
Other shows grossing $2M or more were the usuals: Hamilton ($2,177,119), The Lion King ($2,497,970), and tireless frontrunner Wicked ($2,878,086).
