Broadway grosses came back down to earth last week from their Thanksgiving highs, as a number of shows took their final bows.

Tammy Faye, the new musical with music by Elton John, grossed $371,511 at the Palace Theatre last week, before closing Dec. 8, and played to a capacity of 47 percent. These numbers were up more than $100,000 from the prior week, but still not the highest of the run, nor enough to match the running costs of a musical of that size.

Water for Elephants also played its final performance at the Imperial Theatre Sunday after opening in March 2024. The musical grossed $957,672, up close to $163,000 from the prior week, and played to 66 percent capacity. And, in the lead up to its final performance at the Longacre Theatre on Dec. 15, Swept Away also saw its grosses jump close to $130,000 to reach $540,306 and saw its capacity jump to 81 percent from 61 percent the prior week.

Overall, industry grosses fell close to 9 percent from the prior week, but attendance was largely unchanged. Grosses traditionally pick back up closer to Christmas and New Years, which are the most lucrative weeks of the season for many shows.

While many shows saw their grosses fall from last week, A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical had the highest gross of its run so far a promising sign for a new musical in a tough environment bringing in $719,680 and playing to a capacity of 83 percent. The show opened at Studio 54 on Nov. 11.

Death Becomes Her, another new musical, also added to its tally and saw its grosses increase by $116,000 to reach $1.37 million. The musical, based on the cult classic film, also increased its capacity to 99.4 percent.

Wicked still led the industry gross, with $2.8 million, followed by The Lion King with $2.5 million, Hamilton with $2 million, Sunset Blvd. with $1.8 million and Elf with $1.8 million.
