A Few Good Men and Other Desert Cities , starry new revivals on the Broadway stage, sold out their performances last week, with the latter production (starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Joe Keery and Lily Rabe) hitting the upper reaches of the box office chart with a gross in excess of $2 million.
As impressive as that number is, it still falls well short of the week’s top earner: The ever-popular Hamilton , newly recharged with the return of original cast member Christopher Jackson to the cast, grossed an amazing $3,090,634.
All three shows, along with Billy Crystal’s new 860 , Oh, Mary! (now starring Bowen Yang) and Chicago (with Reece Weaver), helped push the total receipts for the 29 Broadway productions for the week ending October 11 to $35,292,434 , a whopping increase of 27% over the previous week.

Total attendance for the week was 248,496 , about 10% more than the previous week.
A new infusion of star power contributed to the strong figures. A Few Good Men , the non-prof Lincoln Center Theater revival of Aaron Sorkin’s classic military courtroom drama, stars Sorkin’s old West Wing buddy Bradley Whitford (along with Tom Blyth and Krysta Rodriguez) and sold out its first three previews for a gross of $555,367. Official opening night is set for Thursday, October 29.
Other Desert Cities, the Jon Robin Baitz play directed by John Benjamin Hickey, grossed $2,157,355 , selling out eight previews at the Hudson. Opening night is October 18.
Crystal’s solo show 860 – the title refers to the address of the comedian’s longtime home that burned down in the Pacific Palisades fires – filled 92% of its seats at the Imperial, a noticeable improvement over the previous week’s 83%. The gross for the seven previews was $1,173,760 . Opening night is October 21.
Another recent arrival doing well is non-prof Roundabout’s The Imaginary Invalid starring Bill Irwin, filling 90% of seats at the Haimes and grossing $429,863 . Opening night is October 22.
In the 20th week of the 2026-27 season, Broadway has grossed $628,508,592 season-to-date, down about 8% from last year at this time, with total attendance of 5,155,377 down 3% year-to-year.
