Broadway Box Office: ‘All In,’ Starring John Mulaney, Makes Big Debut-December 2024
Dec 27, 2024 5:15 AM

The John Mulaney-led production All In: Comedy About Love brought in more than $1 million in its first five performances on Broadway.

Written by Simon Rich, the production features a rotating cast, which currently includes Mulaney, Fred Armisen, Rene Elise Goldsberry and Richard Kind, who act out short stories about dating, heartbreak and marriage. The show brought in $1.05 million and played to 100 percent capacity at Hudson Theatre, with the top average paid admission in the industry last week at $216.22.

The production had a gala opening Monday night, attended by Lorne Michaels, Pete Davidson, Jon Hamm, Jon Stewart, Anna Wintour and more, with an official opening Dec. 22, which will be the last Broadway opening of 2024. Gypsy, which opens Dec. 19 and starring Audra McDonald, played its first full week of eight performances at the Majestic Theatre last week and brought in a new high of $1.8 million, despite heavily comped press performances over the weekend. The average capacity for the musical revival was 97 percent.

New musical Swept Away, which was originally announced to close Dec. 15, said last Tuesday that it would extend through Dec. 29 due to a surge in ticket sales. Last week, the show brought in $657,500, which was $117,194 more than the prior week, and saw a jump in capacity to 99.4 percent at the Longacre Theatre.

The Notebook ended its nine-month run on Broadway Sunday, bringing in its highest gross yet at $1.09 million, and playing to more than 100 percent capacity at the Schoenfeld Theatre.

Wicked continues to top the industry grosses, with $2.9 million brought in last week, followed by The Lion King with $2.5 million, Hamilton with $2.2 million and Elf with $2 million. Sunset Blvd. rounded out the top five with $1.9 million.

Overall, industry grosses were up 4 percent from last week, and up close to 40 percent from this week last season. As the industry heads into its most lucrative holiday weeks, grosses this season to date are up 15 percent from this point last season.
