Moulin Rouge! continues to pack audiences in at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, with the musical hitting 100 percent capacity and making 92.93 percent of its gross potential with $1,630,284 in the week ending February 9.
The musical opened July 25, 2019, and has continuously performed well at the box office on a week-by-week basis through the fall and winter, when grosses are generally lower ahead of the spring season leading up to the Tony Awards.
The Alicia Keys musical didn't take the coveted Best Musical title at this year's Tony Awards, but it seems to be the season's best performing new musical.
Best Revival of a Musical nominees Cabaret and Merrily We Roll Along, plus Best Musical nominee Hell's Kitchen were all at the top of the list last week.
The now Tony-nominated revival of the John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Joe Masteroff musical leads the chart with the highest average ticket price of the week.
