Broadway Grosses: Standing Room Only Crowds for Taye Diggs' Hedwig & the Angry Inch Swan Song

Taye Diggs took off the make up and put the wig back on the shelf for good on September 13, as Hedwig and the Angry Inch played its final Broadway performance at the Belasco Theatre. Though grosses had taken a considerable dip in 2015, the show ended with a macroscopic box office push, returning above the $600k mark. In terms of capacity, Hedheads were in full force as the reached Standing Room Only for the first time since Neil Patrick Harris left the show in August 2014. Mamma Mia! also ended its run in high tide, while Hamilton maintained its prominent placement on the boards. Finding Neverland appeared in the bottom five by capacity for the first time and took a hit in revenue, though it’s no immediate cause for concern; many family-friendly shows face a downtick once school is back in session.
