Broadway Sales Get A Small Bump

New Broadway Shows See Mixed Results

With the New Year comes a number of new Broadway shows, which are ushering in the spring season a bit early. The Carole King bio-musical Beautiful is doing the best among them, nearly selling out and getting an average paid admission of $105.96.

Outside Mullingar (starring Will & Grace's Debra Messing) is also coming close to selling out, but tickets are averaging at just $56.75. The New York Yankees play Bronx Bombers isn't doing well so far, filling the theater to 61.90% capacity and getting an average ticket price of only $44.17.
