An Act of God previewed four shows this past week, taking Broadway like a storm. The basically unknown play managed to garner $477,703 in gross ticket sales, averaging $129.04 per ticket for four performances filling $3,702 seats (92.0% capacity). Given the little known content, the play is off to a good start. It still has plenty of previews left and it will remain to be see how well it performs up to it’s May 28 open, but the production team must be pleased with the results thus far.
Overall the box office grew for the most part, although a few plays dropped significantly over the week. See the final results for the week below:
