\n\tMariska Hargitay, making her Broadway<\/a> debut taking over from Daniel Radcliffe as the star of Every Brilliant Thing, proved quite the draw in her first week on the job: Attendance at the Hudson Theatre was at 97% of capacity, and although last week\u2019s gross of $1,135,322 was a considerable drop from the previous when Radcliffe said goodbye with record-setting $2M+ numbers<\/a>, the figure is comparable, even higher, than the grosses of Radcliffe\u2019s earliest weeks in the role.<\/p>\n

\n\tHargitay is with the show through Sunday, July 5. Tracee Ellis Ross<\/a> takes over thereafter.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith this Sunday\u2019s Tony Awards fast approaching, three big contenders were sell-outs for the week ending May 31: Death of a Salesman, Ragtime and The Rocky Horror Show (grossing, respectively, $1,815,063, $1,321,199 and $1,111,880.) (Hamilton and Just In Time also were sell-outs.)<\/p>\n

\n\tNominees with attendance in the 90% or more capacity Becky Shaw ($494,075), Cats: The Jellicle Ball ($907,429), Fallen Angels ($661,226), Giant ($1,150,819), Joe Turner\u2019s Come and Gone ($966,962) and The Lost Boys ($1,259,753). Proof, shut out from the nominations, was at 94% of capacity at the Booth, with a gross of $752,965.<\/p>\n

\n\tNominees with attendance below the 90% mark were Chess (88%, $1,012,984); Schmigadoon! (86%, $858,147); Titanique (82%, $791,394); The Balusters (79%, $326,322); and Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) (76%, $595,537). The Fear of 13, with nominations for lighting and sound design, was at 72% and $550,743.<\/p>\n

\n\tSome other notable numbers:<\/p>\n

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, with the film franchise\u2019s Tom Felton on vacation, dropped $116,990 from the previous week, landing at $1,041,377 and attendance at 88% of capacity. Felton returns to the role of Draco Malfoy tonight;<\/p>\n

The Book of Mormon returned to the O\u2019Neill Theatre last week after being off since the big May 4 fire at the venue. The show was at 86% of capacity for its first seven return performances, grossing $649,547;<\/p>\n

Celebrity Autobiography took in a probably unsustainable $44,153 for seven performances (the Thursday evening performance was canceled). Only 26% of seats were occupied for the week at the Shubert;<\/p>\n

With Maya Rudolph in the title role of Oh, Mary!, the comedy had the highest ticket price of the week at $204.31. Gross for the nearly sold-out week was $1,452,044.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn all, the 40 Broadway productions grossed $37,314,104 for the week ending May 31, down about 8% from the previous week and about 17% from last year at this time. Attendance was 320,908, down 5% from the previous week and 4% year-to-year.<\/p>\n
