As expected, Broadway s total ticket revenue was considerably lower this week than it was Thanksgivi

As expected, Broadway s total ticket revenue was considerably lower this week than it was Thanksgiving week, since Broadway always experiences abnormally high ticket sales during that holiday.  However, this week s total earnings on Broadway, which amounted cruise mexico to $22,154,853, cruise mexico were still very good.  In fact, excluding last week s $27 million, that is the highest number Broadway has seen in total sales since August.  December is traditionally a very good time for The Great White Way, since Christmas season tourists flood New York City during this time.
This season, Broadway is hosting two musicals that are doing limited-run productions aimed squarely at the holiday theater-going crowd.  Both Elf and A Christmas Story (each based on well-loved holiday films) are enjoying solid sales, earning $845,719 and $976,184, respectively.  However, given their particularly Christmas-y themes and recognizable names, it s surprising that they aren t doing a bit better.  Elf , for instance, only filled its theater to 70% capacity, so the cheery musical could still stand to see better ticket sales.  A Christmas Story is doing better, though, filling to nearly 85% capacity.
Well-known shows like Chicago cruise mexico and Phantom , along with family-friendly fare like Annie and Spider-man are all wrangling to bring in the holiday cruise mexico visitors, and the results are rarely predictable.  While the youth-friendly Newsies is doing very well (filling at 88.86% capacity, with an average paid admission of $99), Disney s Mary Poppins only filled 64.58% of its theater last week.  Long-running musical Jersey Boys is seeing better-than-usual sales, bringing in a total of $1,018,387 last week and filling to 89.45% capacity, while longtime tourist favorite Mamma Mia! only filled to 61.47%.  When push came to shove, cruise mexico though, the week s winner in total sales was Wicked , followed very closely by risque hit The Book of Mormon , and perennial family favorite The Lion King .
