Broadway Grosses: Oh, Hello Bids Farewell to Broadway on a Charmed Note

There's a little less tuna on Broadway now. Oh, Hello, starring Nick Kroll and John Mulaney as septuagenarian public access TV hosts, hung up its turtleneck at the Lyceum Theatre on January 22, ending its twice-extended limited run. At $804,513, its final week was its highest non-holiday gross and also marked the comedy's first week at standing room only. Leading the pack this past week was once again Hamilton, which claimed the top spot by gross and capacity. While The Phantom of the Opera is in the underdog category this week, don't expect the chandelier to go out just yet. In its nearly 30-year run, the musical has become a reliable machine, taking a dip in the winter months prior to a late-spring surge.
