Daniel Radcliffe's "Every Brilliant Thing" Approaches the Top with $1.6 Million on Broadway
The Hollywood Reporter
The one-man show "Every Brilliant Thing," starring Daniel Radcliffe, continues its rise by achieving a record-breaking $1.65 million in box office revenue last week on Broadway. This production, which requires a strong audience turnout, has become the fourth highest-grossing show in the industry, while also ranking among the productions with the highest average ticket price of $208.93. The show continues to perform at full capacity.
The musical "Moulin Rouge!" secured fifth place in the rankings last week with a revenue of $1.64 million, influenced by the presence of artist Megan Thee Stallion in the cast. However, this success may not last long. Megan Thee Stallion announced on Monday that she would be leaving the show, with her final performance scheduled for May 1. It has not yet been announced who will be cast as her replacement for performances between May 2-17.
The highest-grossing production on Broadway last week was "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," which earned $2.3 million. It was followed by "Hamilton" with $1.94 million and "The Lion King" with $1.89 million. With the opening of six more productions, including "Schmigadoon," "The Balusters," "Beaches," "The Rocky Horror Show," "Joe Turner's Come and Gone," and "The Lost Boys," all productions for the 2025-2026 season have now opened on Broadway as of April 25.
"Proof," starring Don Cheadle and Ayo Edebiri, continues to show strong sales performance, filling 98% of its capacity with a revenue of $976,808. "Death of a Salesman," featuring Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf, filled 90% of its capacity with nearly $1.5 million in revenue. The production "Cats: The Jellicle Ball" achieved $1.6 million in revenue during its first regular performance week, filling 96% of its capacity.
The musical "Beaches" managed to increase its capacity to 64% but only generated a low revenue of $476,871. It will need to increase this figure to remain open. The Tony Award nominees will be announced on May 5, which could provide additional support for Broadway's revenues.
