The entire 2025-2026 Broadway [Tony Awards] season came to a close April 26, allowing a better look at which of the Main Stem’s newest shows are also its newest hits. And it looks like top of that illustrious list would currently be the Daniel Radcliffe-led Every Brilliant Thing. The show debuted in the top five highest grossers with last week’s report, and now it’s come in at number four with $1.64 million. The solo play was beaten only by Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, continuing to enjoy a box-office surge thanks to Harry Potter film star Tom Felton reprising his Draco Malfoy on stage in the sequel play; and the long-running musical juggernauts Hamilton and The Lion King. Closing out the top five was Moulin Rouge! The Musical, whose star casting of three-time Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion has also sent sales skyrocketing (get over to the Hirschfeld this week if you want to catch her before her final bow, which was moved up to May 1).
Also enjoying some healthy post-opening box-office boost is the Nathan Lane, Laurie Metcalf, and Christopher Abbott-led revival of Death of a Salesman at the Winter Garden. The show has never done poorly, and the amount of seats it has been selling has been fairly steady, but the average ticket price has taken a drastic upward journey in the last two weeks, newly sitting at about $140—beating the Broadway-wide average by $20.
But we are still a week or two out from knowing the true current state of affairs. Shows that opened last week will be comping some amount of their houses for the next week or two, which can make things look less lucrative than they really are. And, of course, next week will also bring the reveal of this year’s Tony Award nominations, and that has the potential to dramatically shake things up at the box office even before winners are named.
Across the 40 currently running shows, Broadway brought in $40.37 million, up more than 3% compared to the week prior, with houses sitting at just about 90% full. And while Tony season may have come to a close, the fiscal Broadway season still has another four weeks, and we’re currently beating the record-setting high of last season by more than 5%. That figure has actually shrunk ever so slightly in the last few weeks, but it still appears more than likely that we will set another record come the season’s official end next month.
