Broadway Grosses — Week Ending June 29, 2026: Hamilton Tops $2.1M as Death Becomes Her, Giant & The Fear of 13 Take Their Final Bows

Week Five of the 2026-27 Broadway season closes the books on a triple farewell: Death Becomes Her, Giant, and The Fear of 13 all played their final Broadway performances on Sunday 28 June — sending the active show count down to 35 productions, even as all three departing productions posted the strongest single-week grosses of their entire runs on the way out. Hamilton leads the weekly chart for a third consecutive week, Oh, Mary! sets a new house record at the Lyceum, and The Rocky Horror Show breaks the all-time box office record at Studio 54.

Week 5 of 2026-27: Farewells, Records, and a Market Still Finding Its Level

The week ending 29 June 2026 is Week 5 of the 2026-27 Broadway season. With 35 productions running — down from 38 the previous week — the industry collectively grossed $36,698,946, a 5.78 percent decrease from the prior week’s $38,949,543. Attendance fell 5.22 percent to 291,840, and the average ticket price dipped slightly to $125.75. Capacity utilization landed at 87.29 percent, down four points from the same week last year’s 91.3 percent.

Much of that week-over-week decline is simple arithmetic rather than a market cooling: three fewer shows were selling tickets by Sunday’s performance. And in a pattern that repeats almost every closing week on Broadway, all three departing productions actually posted some of the best numbers of their entire runs on their way out the door, as audiences made a last-minute rush for tickets before the curtain came down for good.

Against the same week in the 2025-26 season, the current market is down 6.65 percent — a gap that continues to narrow from the 9.8 percent deficit recorded the previous week, as the new season gradually settles into its own commercial rhythm. The comparison remains a difficult one by design: the 2025-26 season closed as Broadway’s highest-grossing season in history, at roughly $1.91 billion, and its equivalent week reflected some of the most commercially buoyant weeks in Broadway’s post-pandemic history.

Top Grossers — Week Ending June 29, 2026

Hamilton leads the weekly chart for a third straight week, while Giant — in its very last week of performances — vaulted into the overall top five, outgrossing long-running heavyweights like Ragtime and matching some weeks of The Lion King. Here is the full picture of the week’s highest-earning productions:

Three Curtain Calls: The Shows That Closed Sunday 28 June

Sunday 28 June 2026 was one of the more unusually dramatic final-performance days in recent Broadway memory — three productions playing their simultaneous farewells at 3:00 PM, each representing a very different chapter of the 2025-26 Broadway season that shaped the industry landscape now transitioning fully into its 2026-27 successor.

Ticket Price and Capacity Leaders

Broadway’s most expensive ticket of the week once again belonged to Oh, Mary!, which set a new house record at $220.77 — up 27.6 percent year-over-year. Hamilton ($202.24) and the closing Giant ($200.70) rounded out the top three average ticket prices, followed by Death of a Salesman ($185.71) and Ragtime ($181.12). At the other end of the spectrum, Dog Day Afternoon carried Broadway’s lowest average ticket price at $77.93, followed by Stranger Things: The First Shadow ($84.50), Aladdin ($85.45), Titaníque ($86.55), and The Great Gatsby ($86.72).

On capacity, Hamilton and Death of a Salesman both played to 100.7 percent of house, with the closing Giant at 100.1 percent, Ragtime at a clean sellout, and Every Brilliant Thing at 99.9 percent. The lowest capacity utilization belonged to Chicago (61.2%), SIX: The Musical (63.8%), Moulin Rouge! The Musical (66.6%), The Great Gatsby (69%), and Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) (69.9%).

Tracking the Tony Bounce, Three Weeks Out

The 79th Annual Tony Awards took place on 7 June 2026 at Radio City Music Hall, hosted by P!NK, broadcast on CBS, with Schmigadoon! taking home Best Musical and Death of a Salesman sweeping the play categories including Best Revival of a Play. Three weeks on, the commercial picture is genuinely mixed — some shows continue to build, others are settling back to their pre-ceremony baseline.

The Bigger Picture: A Season Still Building

This week’s numbers sit within the broader story of Broadway’s 2026-27 season finding its early commercial footing after the record-breaking 2025-26 season closed at $1.91 billion in total grosses. With three shows now gone as of June 28, Broadway’s active show count settles at 35 heading into the July 4th holiday week — a period that historically brings its own schedule adjustments, as productions add or cancel performances around the long weekend.

The 2026-27 season’s incoming fall slate — including School Girls (September), Dreamgirls (fall), Wanted (October), Much Ado About Nothing with Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell (previews 31 October), Billy Crystal’s 860 (October), Galileo with Raúl Esparza (previews November), Inter Alia with Rosamund Pike (November), and Warriors from Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis — represents one of the more commercially ambitious fall calendars in recent memory. The current summer quiet is best read as the calm before a genuinely busy stretch of new openings.

Show-by-Show Spotlight: The Performances Behind the Numbers

Hamilton — Three Weeks Running at the Top

Hamilton at the Richard Rodgers Theatre leads the weekly chart for a third consecutive week, as it does with remarkable regularity through the summer months when tourist traffic to New York City peaks. Now in its eleventh year on Broadway, the show’s ability to sustain top-five weekly grosses without any fresh awards-season bump is the clearest evidence available that genuine cultural-phenomenon status is a self-sustaining commercial proposition.

The Rocky Horror Show — A Studio 54 Milestone

Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show broke the all-time box office house record at Studio 54 this week, grossing $1,215,225 — the highest single-week take in the venue’s history, at 99.2 percent capacity. It’s a striking result for a cult title that has built its Broadway audience steadily rather than through a single opening-night wave.

Death of a Salesman — The Tony Winner at 100%+

The most remarkable sustained box office story of the current market remains Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman at the Winter Garden Theatre. The Tony Award winner for Best Revival of a Play continues to play to over 100 percent capacity — a figure reflecting standing-room-only sales — placing it third overall this week at $1,926,016. The production closes on 9 August 2026.

The Bottom of the Table

At the other end of the market, Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre posted the week’s lowest gross, at $523,440 and 61.2 percent capacity, joined near the bottom by Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), SIX: The Musical, Dog Day Afternoon, and & Juliet. None of these figures represent a crisis for an off-peak, post-Tony summer week, but they underline how wide the gap has become between Broadway’s tourist-magnet titles and its more mid-tier, word-of-mouth-dependent productions.

What Comes Next: Summer Broadway and the Fall 2026 Arrival

The Broadway landscape after 28 June is noticeably quieter — 35 productions rather than 38, three fewer houses generating box office receipts through the height of summer. Hamilton, The Lion King, Wicked, Oh, Mary!, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, MJ The Musical, and Hadestown will anchor the summer market, joined by the celebrity-driven limited engagements at the Hudson Theatre (where Tracee Ellis Ross takes over Every Brilliant Thing from July 7) and Circle in the Square’s Just In Time.

Beyond the Broadway houses, summer theatre in New York continues at full pace, including the Public Theater’s free outdoor Shakespeare in the Park season at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. But the real story of the months ahead is the runway toward fall: a genuinely ambitious slate of new openings from September through December that will transform the market from its current summer consolidation mode into the high-investment phase that ultimately produces next spring’s Tony nominations race.

The week ending 29 June 2026 is best read not as a decline but as a hinge point — the moment three notable productions took their final bows while Broadway’s overall market held its commercial ground, absorbing a genuinely unusual triple closing without losing its footing heading into the July 4th holiday week.
