The tourist season has well and truely begun! Broadway theatres were at 87% capacity this past week, the highest they have been in quite a long time! Indeed, 8 shows were sold out for the full week! Only 3 shows seen a decline in bums on seats - Mary Stewart (-4.2%), In the Heights (-2.9%) and 9 to 5 (-6.1%). The family shows are also doing much better with The Little Mermaid playing to 92% capacity this week, and Shrek the Musical taking nearly $1 million for the week. The highest grossing show on Broadway is Wicked, unsuprisingly. The show which has the highest average ticket yield, at $125 per ticket is Billy Elliott the Musical.
