It was feast or famine at the Broadway box office as 2022 wound down, with eye-popping revenue for popular shows - including a staggering new Broadway record for "The Lion King" - not lifting all strugglers.
All shows bar one - "A Christmas Carol" - saw their numbers grow over the week ending Sunday. However, the usual bump was barely evident for "Topdog/Underdog," with just $345,567 over eight shows, and "Ohio State Murders" pulling in just $311,893 to a half-empty theater over nine performances despite the presence of six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald.
Tom Kirdahy, a veteran producer behind the current starry revival of "The Piano Lesson" and the upcoming "New York, New York," said audiences are steadily coming back and could be back to normal by spring.
